“Maximal amplitude currents resulted when glutamate-site agonists were combined with either glycine or D-serine; both of these amino acids were, therefore, defined as full agonists at the glycine site.”
“In fact, REM atonia persists even when glycine and GABAA receptors are blocked and potent glutamatergic agonists are simultaneously applied to the trigeminal motor pool.”
“We have also measured the affinities and intrinsic activities of several NMDA receptor ligands and report that a reciprocal interaction exists, such that the off-rate of glycine is influenced by the properties of the agonist occupying the glutamate coagonist site.”
