  1. 1. Modulation of a model ligand-gated ion channel by amphetamine derivatives

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Emelia Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : pentameric ligand-gated ion channels; sTeLIC; electrophysiology; psychostimulants; amphetamine derivatives;

    Abstract : Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels are critical mediators of electrochemical signal transduction in neurons and other excitable cells, causing them to be important targets of psychoactive drugs. Structural data for these complex proteins are limited, particularly among eukaryotic family members and for the functionally critical open state. READ MORE
