… Also, Schmitt and coworkers [130] have established that the cationic moieties of various
nAChR ligands interact with aromatic groups to an extent proportional to their equilibrium …

Propranolol, a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, also inhibits phosphatidate phosphohydrolase,
the enzyme that converts phosphatidic acid into diacylglycerol. This latter effect has …

Globally, invasive species cause extensive economic damage and are a major threat to
biodiversity. Generalist species are particularly dangerous invaders, as they can thrive in …

Introduced predators pose ecological impacts upon prey species and receiving ecosystems.
Understanding such ecological interactions creates technical challenges including species-…

Native to the central USA, the Blue Catfish Ictalurus furcatus and the Flathead Catfish Pylodictis
olivaris have been widely introduced into many Atlantic slope rivers and are now found …

The structural heterogeneity, the ubiquity of anatomical distribution, and the demonstrated
modulation of biological functions is consistent with the view that nicotinic cholinergic …

Alkylacylglycerols are synthesized when choline-phospholipids are degraded by a phospholipase
C. This class of compounds has been shown to have biological activities; however, …

We explore the significance of π−cation interactions in the binding of ligands to nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors. Specifically, the Austin method of semiempirical molecular orbital …

A series of 2-(arylmethyl)-3-substituted quinuclidines was developed as α7 neuronal nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists based on a putative pharmacophore model. The …

AhpF, the flavin-containing component of the Salmonella typhimurium alkyl hydroperoxide
reductase system, catalyzes the NADH-dependent reduction of an active-site disulfide bond …
