                                        Comment: X-ray crystallography shows that 4‐BCCA inhibits AMPA receptor activity by binding (with low‐affinity) to a region in the receptor's transmembrane domain (PDB ID 6XSR) [1].  The interaction was confirmed by mutagenesis of the amino acids predicted to be involved in the ligand-receptor interaction by the X-ray structure and electropysiological measurements in vitro.  This discovery helps to explain the molecular mechanism underlying 4‐BCCA's anti-epileptic activity.
