Abstract
A novel rapid purification method for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo electric tissue was developed. It allows preparation of 10 mg quantities of pure and stabile receptor protein within 2 days. This protein is used for crystallization attempts. Conditions are described which reproducibly yield crystals.Keywords
