The application of fluorescent receptor ligands has become widespread, incited by two important reasons. “Seeing is believing”—it is possible to visualize in real time in live cells ligand–receptor interactions, and to locate the receptors with subcellular ...
The 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor (5-HT3R) is a member of the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel (pLGIC) family, that plays an important role in fast signal transduction and cell-cell communication in synapses: They convert a chemical signal from a neuro ...
Molecular interactions of odorants with their olfactory receptors (ORs) are of central importance for the mammalian olfactory system to detect and discriminate a large variety of odors with a limited set of receptors. How a particular OR binds and distingu ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a major mediator in innate immunity and inflammation and a potential therapeutic target in multiple inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune diseases including cancer. Current therapeutic strategies for target ...
The present invention relates to methods for inhibition of tautomerase activity of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). The invention further relates to substances for irreversibly covalently binding to MIF for inhibition of tautomerase activity. ...
A series of organometallic compds. of general formula [(arene)M(PTA)nXm]Y (arene = η6-C10H14, η-C5Me5); (M = Ru(II), Os(II), Rh(III) and Ir(III); X = Cl, mPTA; Y = OTf, PF6) have been screened for their cytotoxicity and ability to inhibit cathepsin B in vi ...
The serotonin type 3 receptor (5HT3R) is a homopentameric, cation selective channel that mediates fast excitatory transmission in the nervous system. It is a member of the Cys-loop family of receptors that include the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nACh ...
We demonstrate a field-portable optofluidic plasmonic sensing device, weighing 40 g and 7.5 cm in height, which merges plasmonic microarrays with dual-wavelength lensfree on-chip imaging for real-time monitoring of protein binding kinetics. ...
Allosteric regulation plays an important role in a myriad of bio-macromolecular processes. Specifically, in a protein, the process of allostery refers to the transmission of a local perturbation, such as ligand binding, to a distant site. Decades after the ...
Platinum-based cancer drugs, such as cisplatin, are highly effective chemotherapeutic agents used extensively for the treatment of solid tumors. However, their effectiveness is limited by drug resistance, which, in some cancers, has been associated with an ...
