A novel human glucocorticoid receptor SNP results in increased transactivation potential. [PDF]
Glucocorticoids are one of the most widely used therapeutics in the treatment of a variety of inflammatory disorders. However, it is known that there are variable patient responses to glucocorticoid treatment; there are responders and non-responders, or ...

The five dimensions of receptor pharmacology exemplified by melatonin receptors: An opinion
Receptology has been complicated with enhancements in our knowledge of G‐protein‐coupled‐receptor (GPCR) biochemistry. This complexity is exemplified by the pharmacology of melatonin receptors.

Interplay of 'induced fit' and preorganization in the ligand induced folding of the aptamer domain of the guanine binding riboswitch [PDF]
Riboswitches are highly structured elements in the 50-untranslated regions (50-UTRs) of messenger RNA that control gene expression by specifically binding to small metabolite molecules. They consist of an aptamer domain responsible for ligand binding and

The ASIC3/P2X3 cognate receptor is a pain-relevant and ligand-gated cationic channel
Two subclasses of ligand-gated ion channels (ASIC3 and P2X3) are both present at sensory neurons and might be therefore subject to receptor crosstalk. Here authors use electrophysiology, biochemistry and co-immunoprecipitation to show that the two ion ...

Ligand selectivity in stabilising tandem parallel folded G-quadruplex motifs in human telomeric DNA sequences [PDF]
Biophysical studies of ligand interactions with three human telomeric repeat sequences (d(AGGG(TTAGGG)n, n = 3, 7 and 11)) show that an oxazole-based ‘click’ ligand, which induces parallel folded quadruplexes, preferentially stabilises longer telomeric ...

Identification of YdhV as the first molybdoenzyme binding a Bis-Mo-MPT cofactor in escherichia coli [PDF]
The oxidoreductase YdhV in Escherichia coli has been predicted to belong to the family of molybdenum/tungsten cofactor (Moco/Wco)-containing enzymes. In this study, we characterized the YdhV protein in detail, which shares amino acid sequence homology ...
