Publisher Summary This chapter describes the effects of alcohols and volatile anesthetics
on glycine receptors, with emphasis on the specific positions involved with drug action and
potential candidates for further study. Comparisons between the current data known for drug
binding and accessibility in the glycine receptor and other members of the ligand‐gated ion
channel family serve to elucidate the components of alcohol and volatile anesthetic drug
binding cavities. The alcohol and volatile anesthetic binding site in the glycine receptors …
