Structural and functional studies of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor by solid-state NMR [PDF]
, 2018 Over the last seven years, solid-state NMR has been widely employed to study structural and functional aspects of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. These studies have provided detailed structural information relating to both the ligand binding site ...

Functional Stoichiometry at the Nicotinic Receptor. The Photon Cross Section for Phase 1 Corresponds to Two Bis-Q Molecules per Channel [PDF]
, 1982 These experiments examine changes in the agonist-induced conductance that occur when the agonist-receptor complex is perturbed. Voltage-clamped Electrophorus electroplaques are exposed to the photoisomerizable agonist trans-Bis-Q A 1-µs laser flash ...

Regulation of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Assembly
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2003 Abstract: The four muscle‐type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunits, α, β, γ, and δ, assemble into functional α2βγδ pentamers in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through a series of interdependent folding and oligomerization events. The first stable assembly intermediate is a trimer composed of α, β, and γ subunits.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Resistance of Dalbulus maidis to bifenthrin was autosomal, incompletely dominant, and polygenic. Additionally, this resistance was unstable in the absence of selection pressure. Abstract BACKGROUND Pyrethroid insecticides have been a primary strategy for managing Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Brazil. Howeve, failures in the control of D.

Antidepressant-like Effects of Neuropeptide SF (NPSF) [PDF]
World Journal of Research and Review (WJRR) ISSN:2455-3956,
Volume-4, Issue-5, May 2017 Pages 26-30, 2020 Neuropeptide SF (NPSF) is a member of RFamide neuropeptides that play diverse roles in central nervous system. Little is know about the effects of NPSF on brain functions. Antidepressant-like effect of NPSF was studied in modified mice FST. NPSF showed the antidepressant-like effects by decreasing the immobility time and increasing the climbing and ...

Nicotine-Induced Effects on Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors (nAChRs), Ca2+ and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in STC-1 Cells [PDF]
, 2016 In addition to the T2R bitter taste receptors, neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have recently been shown to be involved in the bitter taste transduction of nicotine, acetylcholine and ethanol.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.All Spodoptera frugiperda were rice strain with two haplotypes, likely from a common mixed source. ABCC2 and Ace‐1 mutations, conferring resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis and organophosphates/carbamates, respectively, were detected. Abstract BACKGROUND The invasive fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, FAW), a highly destructive pest affecting more ...

The Channel Capacity of Channelrhodopsin and Other Intensity-Driven Signal Transduction Receptors [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Biological systems transduce signals from their surroundings through a myriad of pathways. In this paper, we describe signal transduction as a communication system: the signal transduction receptor acts as the receiver in this system, and can be modeled as a finite-state Markov chain with transition rates governed by the input signal.

Rates and Equilibria for a Photoisomerizable Antagonist at the Acetylcholine Receptor of Electrophorus Electroplaques [PDF]
, 1985 Voltage-jump and light-flash experiments have been performed on isolated Electrophorus electroplaques exposed simultaneously to nicotinic agonists and to the photoisomerizable compound 2,2'-bis-[α-(trimethylammonium)methyl]-azobenzene (2BQ).
