AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
The thesis presented here describes studies of ligand binding, function, and arrangement of ligand-gated ion channels in cell membranes. Fluorescence microscopy and the patch clamp technique are used to investigate the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and ...
The subject of this thesis is the study of the structure and function of the human muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), which is a typical member of the large class of ligand-gated ion channels. Appropriate techniques, like site-directed mutage ...
We have examined the properties of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in embryonic chick retinal ganglion cells. Ganglion cells, identified according to morphological and physiological criteria, displayed spontaneous or induced action potentials. In 94/99 c ...
The agonists acetylcholine (ACh) and cholecystokinin (CCK) evoke oscillating cytosolic Ca2+ signals in pancreatic acinar cells. Low agonist concentrations evoke local cytosolic Ca2+ spikes confined to the secretory pole region and intracellular inositol tr ...
In this work, the specific and nonspecific binding of proteins to planar surfaces was investigated. The surfaces were first modified by the spontaneous adsorption of a number of synthesized 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine lipids with different ...
With the reversible sequential (ReSeq) binding assay, we present a novel approach for the ultrasensitive profiling of receptor function in single living cells. This assay is based on the repetitive application of fluorescent ligands that have fast assocn.- ...
High signal-to-noise Fourier transform IR (FTIR) spectra of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor (5-HT3R) and the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) were obtained by microscope FTIR spectroscopy using micrometer-sized, fully hydrated protein ...
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 effect of acetylcholine (ACh) on intracellular responses to ionophoretic application of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) was examined in rat hippocampal slice. Recordings were obtained from CA1 neurons under current- and voltage-clamp conditions. Drugs were ...
Ligand binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is studied by surface plasmon resonance. Biotinylated bungarotoxin, immobilized on a streptavidin-coated gold film, binds nicotinic acetylcholine receptor both in detergent-solubilized and in lipid ves ...
