Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors consist of five distinct subtypes and have been important targets for drug development. In the periphery, muscarinic acetylcholine receptors mediate cholinergic signals to autonomic organs, but specific physiological ...

The interaction of nutrients and bacterial-derived products and their enteroendocrine effects are still enigmatic. We used the human enteroendocrine tumour cell line P-STS isolated from the terminal ileum as cellular sentinel.

Effects of Nerve Growth Factor shRNA Inhibition on Asthma Phenotypes in a Mouse Model of Asthma
Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays an important role in airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). In this study, we aimed at investigating the effect of NGF inhibition on AHR and other asthma phenotypes in a mouse model of asthma.

The surface accessibility of α-bungarotoxin monitored by a novel paramagnetic probe [PDF]
The surface accessibility of {\alpha}-bungarotoxin has been investigated by using Gd2L7, a newly designed paramagnetic NMR probe. Signal attenuations induced by Gd2L7 on {\alpha}-bungarotoxin C{\alpha}H peaks of 1H-13C HSQC spectra have been analyzed and compared with the ones previously obtained in the presence of GdDTPA-BMA. In spite of the different

Monod-Wyman-Changeux Analysis of Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Mutants [PDF]
We present a framework for computing the gating properties of ligand-gated ion channel mutants using the Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model of allostery. We derive simple analytic formulas for key functional properties such as the leakiness, dynamic range, half-maximal effective concentration, and effective Hill coefficient, and explore the full spectrum
