Electrostatic Contributions of Aromatic Residues in the Local Anesthetic Receptor of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels [PDF]
Antiarrhythmics, anticonvulsants, and local anesthetics target voltage-gated sodium channels, decreasing excitability of nerve and muscle cells. Channel inhibition by members of this family of cationic, hydrophobic drugs relies on the presence of highly ...

Aptamer-based cocaine assay using a nanohybrid composed of ZnS/Ag2Se quantum dots, graphene oxide and gold nanoparticles as a fluorescent probe [PDF]
Authors report on a new fluoro-graphene-plasmonic nanohybrid aptamer-based fluorescent nanoprobe for cocaine. To construct the nanoprobe, newly synthesized glutathione-capped ZnS/Ag 2Se quantum dots (QDs) were first conjugated to graphene oxide (GO) to ...

First Report of Nephrocalcinosis in Aquacultured Brazilian Sardine (Sardinella brasiliensis Steindachner, 1879). [PDF]
ABSTRACT While nephrocalcinosis (kidney stones) is uncommon in wild teleost fish, various environmental and nutritional factors could lead to its occurrence in aquacultured fish. This study presents the first documented case of kidney stones in aquacultured Brazilian sardine (Sardinella brasiliensis). During necropsy, eighteen hard, white kidney stones
