Predicting Novel Binding Modes of Agonists to β Adrenergic Receptors Using All-Atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Marilisa Neri, Stefano Vanni

Understanding the binding mode of agonists to adrenergic receptors is crucial to enabling improved rational design of new therapeutic agents. However, so far the high conformational flexibility of G protein-coupled receptors has been an obstacle to obtaini ...

Enhanced long-term microcircuit plasticity in the valproic Acid animal model of autism

Henry Markram, Kamila Markram, Tania Rinaldi, Jean-Vincent Le Bé

A single intra-peritoneal injection of valproic acid (VPA) on embryonic day (ED) 11.5 to pregnant rats has been shown to produce severe autistic-like symptoms in the offspring. Previous studies showed that the microcircuitry is hyperreactive due to hyperco ...

Novel treatment for Alzheimer's disease

The present invention concerns a new pharmaceutical composition comprising an antagonist and a co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptor (NMDAR). The inventors found that the co-administration of these two compounds effectively inhibit ...

Elevated NMDA receptor levels and enhanced postsynaptic long-term potentiation induced by prenatal exposure to valproic acid

Henry Markram, Tania Rinaldi, Karina Kulangara

Valproic acid (VPA) is a powerful teratogen causing birth defects in humans, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), if exposure occurs during the first trimester of embryogenesis. Learning and memory alterations are common symptoms of ASD, but underlyin ...

Layer- and column-specific knockout of NMDA receptors in pyramidal neurons of the mouse barrel cortex

Carl Petersen

Viral vectors injected into the mouse brain offer the possibility for localized genetic modifications in a highly controlled manner. Lentivector injection into mouse neocortex transduces cells within a diameter of approximately 200mum, which closely matche ...

New conjugate of agonist ligand directed to ligand-gated ion channels of cysteine loop-family with chromophore, useful, e.g. in receptor proteins/their interaction with agonistic ligand and to study the effect of unlabelled ligands

Horst Arthur Vogel, Rudolf Hovius, Jörg Grandl

NOVELTY - Conjugate (I) of an agonist ligand directed to ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) of the Cys loop-family with a chromophore, is new. USE - (I) is useful in the receptor proteins and/or their interaction with the agonistic ligand, where the interac ...

Altered neocortical microcircuitry in the valproic acid rat model of autism

Tania Rinaldi

Autism is a wide-spectrum disorder with early childhood onset, affecting general cognitive capabilities and, in particular, complex information processing. Although interesting directions of research start to appear, the precise causes of the disorder and ...
