  • NMDA-evoked currents were measured in wild-type or mutant NR1-1a/NR2A receptors expressed in oocytes. EC50values ± SD were calculated from dose–response curves generated by fitting the data with the equation I =Imax/[1 + (EC50/[agonist])

  • F1-n ], wheren is the Hill slope, and Imax is the maximum response normalized to 100%.
