A tight coupling between β\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eY97 and β\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eF200 of the GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e receptor mediates GABA binding [PDF]
The GABAA receptor is an oligopentameric chloride channel that is activated via conformation changes induced upon the binding of the endogenous ligand, GABA, to the extracellular inter-subunit interfaces. Although dozens of amino acid residues at the α/β

ABSTRACT Smoking is the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with corticosteroid resistance. Given the paucity of data on human lung preparations, macrophages (LMs), and parenchymal explants (LPEs) were exposed to cigarette smoke extracts (CSE) in the presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Moreover, LMs
