    Author : Michael Luxemburg; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : -aminobutyric acid receptors of type A (GABAARs) are the majorinhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the human brain, andare modulated by a vast range of exogenous molecules, such assedatives and anesthetics. In the last year, the first cryo-electronmicroscopy (cryo-EM) images of the closed and desensitized statesof the GABAAR were released, enabling fruitful research throughsimulations of these complex proteins.

  3. 2. Characterization of the binding of the novel compound GT-002 to GABAA receptors in the mammalian brain : Development and validation of a radioligand binding assay. A comparative study to Flumazenil

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Zemowska Emelie; [2017]
    Keywords : GABAA receptor; Radioligand binding assay; GT-002; Triazoloquinazolinedione; Flumazenil; Neuropharmacology;

    Abstract : Gamma-Amino butyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and inhibits the neurotransmission by targeting the ionotropic transmembrane GABAA receptor. Modulators of the GABAA receptor targets the allosteric binding sites and modifies the GABA effect and these sites acts as superior drug targets within psychopharmacology. READ MORE
