When the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is applied to skeletal muscle cells, it binds the acetylcholine receptor and causes the muscle cells to contract. succinylcholine, which is a chemical analog of acetylcholine, binds to the acetylcholine receptor on skeletal muscle cells but causes the muscle to relax; it is therefore often used by surgeons as a muscle relaxant. propose a model for why succinylcholine causes muscle relaxation.
what might be the mechanism to explain the different activities of acetylcholine and succinylcholine on the acetylcholine receptor?
