If you would like to take a look for some site yourself then click on the link to the right. This will take you to a Neuroscience search engine. This is a good place to begin in a search for ion channel sites.
Neuroscience animations: A collection of animations for the neurosciences including the activation of the nicotinic receptor.
Ion channel animations: You will like this site if you can get the animations working. It has a number of aniamtions of voltage-operated ion channels including an alternative model for the working of the ion sensor in the K+ channel. Also, don't miss the interactive animation "neuron" which shows how an action poteintial is generated and propagated.
Ion Channels: Structure and Function: This site mostly discusses the nicotinic receptor with lots of illustrations.
Glutamate Receptors - Structures and Functions: An extensive consideration of NMDA and AMPA receptors can be found here.
Mechanisms of synaptic transmission and neuronal integration: Ian Forsythe's website contains several animations (links found at the very bottom of the home webpage under heading "movies and animations).
On-line learning center of McGraw-Hill: A number of animations from the publisher McGraw-Hill are found here including one showing the Na+/K+ ATPase pump and another showing the working of the chemical synapse.
Animations! This site has an extensive list of links to animations concerning neurons and synapses.
