Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Assembled from the α7 and β3 Subunits [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Intracellular recordings were performed in voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes upon injection with a mixture of cDNAs encoding the beta3 and mutant alpha7 (L247Talpha7) neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits. The expressed receptors maintained sensitivity to methyllycaconitine and to alpha-bungarotoxin but exhibited a functional profile

Structure-Function Studies of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Using Unnatural Amino Acids [PDF]
, 2012 This dissertation primarily describes structure-function studies of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). These studies use a combination of unnatural amino acid mutagenesis and electrophysiology to determine the specific molecular interactions

Allenamides Playing Domino: A Redox‐Neutral Photocatalytic Synthesis of Functionalized 2‐Aminofurans
Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 364, Issue 2, Page 362-371, January 18, 2022., 2022 Abstract A photoredox catalytic synthesis of functionalized 2‐aminofurans is proposed starting from α‐halo carbonyl substrates and N‐allenamides. The protocol proves to be efficient and sustainable thanks to: i) the use of visible light as green energy source, ii) the redox‐neutral nature of the transformation, allowing to avoid additives and strong ...

Alzheimer's disease drug development pipeline: 2022
Alzheimer's &Dementia: Translational Research &Clinical Interventions, Volume 8, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Abstract Introduction Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a global health crisis. Treatments are needed to prevent, delay the onset, slow the progression, improve cognition, and reduce behavioral disturbances of AD. We review the current clinical trials and drugs in development for the treatment of AD.

Proteomic Analysis of an α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Interactome [PDF]
Journal of Proteome Research, 2009 The alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is well established as the principal high-affinity alpha-bungarotoxin-binding protein in the mammalian brain. We isolated carbachol-sensitive alpha-bungarotoxin-binding complexes from total mouse brain tissue by affinity immobilization followed by selective elution, and these proteins were ...
