1. Modulation of a model ligand-gated ion channel by amphetamine derivatives
University essay from Uppsala universitet/StrukturbiologiAbstract : 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

3. Detection of Amphetamine with Graphene Quantum Dots
University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikAbstract : Amphetamine abuse is an enduring problem in many developed nations, including Sweden. It causes lasting damage both to its users and in the form of increased strain on healthcare services. It is therefore critical that police be equipped with the tools necessary to rapidly and accurately identify any samples in order to combat this scourge. READ MORE

4. The use of graphene quantum dots as detection elements in nanomaterials-based sensors for forensic applications
University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikAbstract : The large-scale abuse and addiction of narcotics such as amphetamine and cocaine have become a global problem. In this project, we innovatively use graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a fluorescent sensor to detect and quantify amphetamine and cocaine. This technology will have broad forensic application prospects. READ MORE

5. Bayes Factors for the Proposition of a Common Source of Amphetamine Seizures.
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärningAbstract : This thesis sets out to address the challenges with the comparison of Amphetamine material in determining whether they originate from the same source or different sources using pairwise ratios of peak areas within each chromatogram of material and then modeling the difference between the ratios for each comparison as a basis for evaluation. The evaluation of an existing method that uses these ratios to determine the sum of significant differences between each comparison of material that is provided is done. READ MORE
