Engineering Tyrosine-Based Electron Flow Pathways in Proteins: The Case of Aplysia Myoglobin [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2012 Tyrosine residues can act as redox cofactors that provide an electron transfer ("hole-hopping") route that enhances the rate of ferryl heme iron reduction by externally added reductants, for example, ascorbate.

Neuromolecular mechanisms related to reflex behaviour in Aplysia are affected by ocean acidification [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceWhile ocean acidification (OA) impacts the behaviour of marine organisms, the complexity of neurosystems makes linking behavioural impairments to environmental change difficult.

Learning processes in elementary nervous systems§ [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 Invertebrate animal models show simple behaviors supported by neural circuits easily accessible for experimentation and yet complex enough to provide necessary information on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern the vertebrate nervous system'

Localization and functional characterization of a novel adipokinetic hormone in the mollusk, Aplysia californica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Increasing evidence suggests that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), corazonin, adipokinetic hormone (AKH), and red pigment-concentrating hormone all share common ancestry to form a GnRH superfamily.

Molecular Brain, 2022 Neuropeptides act mostly on a class of G-protein coupled receptors, and play a fundamental role in the functions of neural circuits underlying behaviors. However, physiological functions of some neuropeptide receptors are poorly understood. Here, we used

In search of the Aplysia immunome: an in silico study
BMC Genomics, 2022 The immune repertoires of mollusks beyond commercially important organisms such as the pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas or vectors for human pathogens like the bloodfluke planorb Biomphalaria glabrata are understudied.
