Abstract
The γ-aminobutyric acid transporter 1 (GAT1) is a transporter which clears the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from the synaptic cleft. The paper by Motiwala et al. documents a structure of GAT1 in complex with the antiepileptic drug tiagabine. This study will enable structure-based docking of large chemical libraries for the discovery of novel antiepileptics.
