Competition for Aβ1–42‐FAM binding to Tb‐ SNAP‐α7nAChR by non‐labelled Aβ1–42 (reference, dotted line) and by the compounds (a) S24795 (n = 5), (b) PNU‐282987 (n = 5), (c) EVP‐6124 (n = 5), (d) S65050 (n = 5), (e) anti‐ Aβ antibody (20 μg·ml−1; n = 5), by the α7nAChR type II PAM (f) PNU‐120596 (n = 5) and type I PAM (g) NS1738 (n = 4); (h) model of the α7nAChR homo‐pentamer illustrating the localization of the orthosteric binding site, the proposed allosteric binding sites for NS1738 and PNU‐120596, and the binding site of the channel blocker mecamylamine (adapted from Corradi & Bouzat, 2016; Spurny et al., 2015).
