Ladder-Shaped Ion Channel Ligands: Current State of Knowledge
Ciguatoxins (CTX) and brevetoxins (BTX) are polycyclic ethereal compounds biosynthesized by the worldwide distributed planktonic and epibenthic dinoflagellates of Gambierdiscus and Karenia genera, correspondingly. Ciguatera, evoked by CTXs, is a type of ichthyosarcotoxism, which involves a variety of gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms, while BTXs cause so-called neurotoxic shellfish poi...
متن کاملKnowledge management: the ladder of research utilization
Introduction: Knowledge management helps us to share, learn and regenerate the new knowledge. Knowledge is the most important asset and greatest competitive advantage of many organizations today. Simultaneously, it can be observed that many organizations realize it is highly problematic and complicated to collect, store, retrieve, find, disseminate and reuse knowledge in modern fast changing or...
متن کاملProtein ligands for studying ion channel proteins
Protein toxins from venomous organisms have provided remarkable insights into the structure and mechanism of ion channel proteins (Kalia et al., 2015). One classic example is the work of Rod MacKinnon, Chris Miller, and their colleagues on the mechanism by which high-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (or BK channels for Big K conductance) are inhibited by charybdotoxin (Anderson ...
متن کاملCurrent State of Knowledge
In the individuals previously uninfected by M.tuberculosis, about 2 to 4 weeks after the vaccination, erythema around an area of induration appears. Approximately at the site of prick of injection a nodule shows up. Within 3 to 10 days time, it softens giving rise to a pustule. Bursting of the pustule in about 2 to 5 days after its appearance results in an ulcer 4 to 8 mm in size. This painless...
متن کاملDendrimeric tetravalent ligands for the serotonin-gated ion channel.
Multivalency is widely used in nature in specific recognition processes. This paper describes an approach to multivalency in the pentameric 5-HT3 receptor, a ligand-gated ion channel, which constitutes an example of intrinsically multivalent biological receptors. Owing to the picomolar Ki value, TETRA-L represents an outstanding multivalent ligand for the neurotransmitter receptor.
