Distribution of Muscarinic Acethylcholine Receptors and Related Signal [PDF]
Muscarinic receptors are members of G protein coupled receptor family. Molecularcloning studies indicate five intronless genes that encode five muscarinic receptorglycoproteins.

Direct imaging of lateral movements of AMPA receptors inside synapses [PDF]
Trafficking of AMPA receptors in and out of synapses is crucial for synaptic plasticity. Previous studies have focused on the role of endo/exocytosis processes or that of lateral diffusion of extra-synaptic receptors. We have now directly imaged AMPAR movements inside and outside synapses of live neurons using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy ...

Tetra‐ortho‐Azobenzenes (TOABs) in broad daylight: in recent years, TOAB photoswitches became indispensable tools for all‐visible‐light manipulation of chemistry, biology and materials. This review explores their unique photochemical properties, design and synthetic approaches, offering support in choosing a TOAB for a given application.

Synthesis and Characterization of Photoswitchable Covalent Ligands for the β2‐Adrenoceptor
A structure‐based design of a covalent photoswitchable ligand for the β2‐adrenergic receptor, a therapeutically relevant GPCR, is described. This tool facilitates the modification of the intrinsic activity of the protein by light. Computational analysis of its mechanism of action suggests that the photoswitch takes place within the binding pocket ...

Large number of receptors may reduce cellular response time variation [PDF]
Cells often have tens of thousands of receptors, even though only a few activated receptors can trigger full cellular responses. Reasons for the overabundance of receptors remain unclear. We suggest that, in certain conditions, the large number of receptors results in a competition among receptors to be the first to activate the cell.

Delineating muscarinic receptor functions [PDF]
Acetylcholine, as the first chemical molecule to be established as a neurotransmitter, has attracted enduring interest from researchers over several decades. However, deciphering all of the physiological manifestations associated with actions of this molecule has been difficult, and many mysteries of cholinergic neurotransmission still remain to be ...

Understanding and treating ejaculatory dysfunction in men with diabetes mellitus
Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a rapidly rising metabolic disorder with important systemic complications. Global figures have demonstrated the prevalence of diabetes mellitus has almost quadrupled from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014, with a current prevalence of over 525 million.

Algebraic study of receptor-ligand systems: a dose-response analysis [PDF]
The study of a receptor-ligand system generally relies on the analysis of its dose-response (or concentration-effect) curve, which quantifies the relation between ligand concentration and the biological effect (or cellular response) induced when binding its specific cell surface receptor.
