Learning the Hydrophilic, Hydrophobic and Aromatic Character of Amino Acids from their Interfacial Thermal Conductance in Water [PDF]
, 2021 In this study, the thermal relaxation of the 20 naturally occurring amino-acids in water is investigated using transient non-equilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations. By modeling the thermal relaxation process, the relaxation times of the amino-acids in water occurs over a timescale covering 2-5 ps.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials in rat neocortical neurons in vitro. III. Effects of a quinoxalinedione non-NMDA receptor antagonist [PDF]
, 1990 1. Intracellular microelectrodes were used to obtain recordings from neurons in layer II/III of rat frontal cortex. A bipolar electrode positioned in layer IV of the neocortex was used to evoke postsynaptic potentials.

Electron Attachment to DNA: The Protective Role of Amino Acids [PDF]
, 2022 We have studied the effect of amino acids on electron attachment properties of DNA nucleobases, taking cytosine as a model system. The equation of motion coupled cluster theory with an extended basis set has been used to simulate the electron-attached state of the DNA model system. Four selected amino acids, Arginine, Alanine, Lysine, and Glycine which

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]
, 2017 The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

A reinforcing circuit action of extrasynaptic GABAA receptor modulators on cerebellar granule cell inhibition. [PDF]
, 2013 GABAA receptors (GABARs) are the targets of a wide variety of modulatory drugs which enhance chloride flux through GABAR ion channels. Certain GABAR modulators appear to acutely enhance the function of δ subunit-containing GABAR subtypes responsible for ...

Plants, 2022 Most excitatory impulses received by neurons are mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). These receptors are located at the apex and play an important role in memory, neuronal development, and synaptic plasticity.

Disinhibition of hippocampal CA3 neurons induced by suppression of an adenosine A1 receptor-mediated inhibitory tonus: Pre- and postsynaptic components [PDF]
, 1993 Intracellular recordings were performed on hippocampal CA3 neuronsin vitro to investigate the inhibitory tonus generated by endogenously produced adenosine in this brain region.

Symmetry Scheme for Amino Acid Codons [PDF]
Phys.Rev.E65, 021912 (2002), 2003 Group theoretical concepts are invoked in a specific model to explain how only twenty amino acids occur in nature out of a possible sixty four. The methods we use enable us to justify the occurrence of the recently discovered twenty first amino acid selenocysteine, and also enables us to predict the possible existence of two more, as yet undiscovered ...

The kynurenine pathway and the brain: challenges, controversies and promises [PDF]
, 2017 Research on the neurobiology of the kynurenine pathway has suffered years of relative obscurity because tryptophan degradation, and its involvement in both physiology and major brain diseases, was viewed almost exclusively through the lens of the well ...

Spread of epileptiform activity in the immature rat neocortex studied with voltage-sensitive dyes and laser scanning microscopy [PDF]
, 1994 1. Adult rats and rats with a postnatal age of 3-29 days (PN 3-29) were used for the preparation of in vitro slices of the frontal neocortex. Epileptiform activity was induced by bath application of the gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor ...
