A review. Cell-based assays are the predominant means of assessing activation of ionotropic receptors and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), but are limited by their inherent complexity. Here we present an approach to immobilize receptors stably and with ...
We have measured fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a fluorescent antagonist, bound to the purified detergent-solubilized serotonin type 3 receptor, and a lipophilic acceptor probe partitioned into the micelle surrounding the detergent-s ...
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo was immobilised in tethered membranes. Surface plasmon resonance was used to quantify the binding of ligands and antibodies to the receptor. The orientation and structural integrity of the surface-reconstit ...
The ability of organisms, or individual cells, to react to external chemical signals, which are detected and transduced by cell-surface receptors, is crucial for their survival. These receptors are the targets of the majority of clinically used medicines. ...
The binding of the fluorescein-labeled antagonist GR-flu ([1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-3-[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]-9-(3-amino- (N-fluoresceinthiocarbamoyl)propyl)-4H-carbazol-4-one]) to a purified, detergent-solubilized ligand-gated ion channel, the type- ...
FMOC-L-Leucine (F-L-Leu) is a chemically distinct PPARgamma ligand. Two molecules of F-L-Leu bind to the ligand binding domain of a single PPARgamma molecule, making its mode of receptor interaction distinct from that of other nuclear receptor ligands. F-L ...
The ability of organisms, or individual cells to sense and to react to different external and internal stimuli (light, hormones, odorants, taste) is crucial for their survival. I will report on our recent progress to investigate mol. signal recognition and ...
The 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor of type 3 was investigated by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). Binding constants of fluorescently labeled ligands, the stoichiometry, and the mass of the receptor are readily accessible by this technique, while ...
A highly-sensitive surface fluorescence technique was combined with a powerful method for the oriented reversible immobilization of membrane proteins on oxide surfaces. Affinity and kinetic parameters of the interaction of the receptor and a fluorescent li ...
The aim of this study is to obtain voxel-by-voxel images of binding parameters between [11C]-Flumazenil and benzodiazepine receptors using positron emission tomography (PET). We estimate five local parameters (k1, k2, B'max, kon/VR, koff) by fitting a thre ...
