Scalable Production of Highly-Sensitive Nanosensors Based on Graphene Functionalized with a Designed G Protein-Coupled Receptor [PDF]
We have developed a novel, all-electronic biosensor for opioids that consists of an engineered mu opioid receptor protein, with high binding affinity for opioids, chemically bonded to a graphene field-effect transistor to read out ligand binding. A variant of the receptor protein that provided chemical recognition was computationally redesigned to ...

Rapid divergence of the ecdysone receptor in Diptera and Lepidoptera suggests coevolution between ECR and USP-RXR [PDF]
Ecdysteroid hormones are major regulators in reproduction and development of insects, including larval molts and metamorphosis. The functional ecdysone receptor is a heterodimer of ECR (NR1H1) and USP-RXR (NR2B4), which is the orthologue of vertebrate retinoid X receptors (RXR alpha, beta, gamma).

Inclusion of Enclosed Hydration Effects in the Binding Free Energy Estimation of Dopamine D3 Receptor Complexes [PDF]
Confined hydration and conformational flexibility are some of the challenges encountered for the rational design of selective antagonists of G-protein coupled receptors. We present a set of C3-substituted (-)-stepholidine derivatives as potent binders of the dopamine D3 receptor.

Abstract Introduction Hyponatremia is one of the commonly inquired adverse effects related to Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) received by the Hong Kong Poison Information Center. However, it has never been investigated or reviewed systemically. The purpose of this review is to look into the relationship between CHM and hyponatremia.

Neuralgic amyotrophy presentation of acute intermittent porphyria: A case report
Abstract Background and Aims Porphyrias are inherited metabolic disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding enzymes involved in the heme biosynthetic pathway, leading to the accumulation of heme precursors. Acute hepatic porphyrias (AHP), including acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), can present with predominant peripheral neurological ...

Functional Characterization of the Arginine Vasotocin 4 Receptor (VT4R) in Sensory Circumventricular Organs of the Chicken Gallus gallus [PDF]
Past studies have shown that the avian vasotocin 4 receptor (VT4R), homologous to the mammalian arginine vasopressin receptor 1a (V1aR/AVPR1A) is involved in immobilization stress.
