摘要:
Fluorescence based screening assays are provided that allow for the for identification of agents that selectively bind to a ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) such as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Also provided are methods for identifying agents that selectively bind to a neuronal-type nAChR by detecting binding of the agent to an Aplysia AChBP, which is representative of a neuronal-type nAChR. In addition, compositions and kits for performing such methods are provided.
摘要:
Provided are methods and compositions for treating autism spectrum disorders by administering an antioxidant or agent that stabilize or enhance expression of altered neuroligins. An aspect of the disclosure includes site-specific delivery of the antioxidant to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to reverse incorrect disulfide binding of the protein neuroligin. Also disclosed is a method of targeting the antioxidant to neuroligin by using the calcium binding or other recognition site of neuroligin to bind the antioxidant. The antioxidant can be cysteamine linked to a molecule which binds to a binding site.
摘要:
A method of detoxifying organophosphates using mutant cholinesterase which esists aging. The addition of oximes to the cholinesterase further retards aging of the cholinesterase.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for the preparation and use of labeled AChE and labeled AChE inhibitory conjugate compositions for detecting accumulation of toxic materials such as organophosphates, insecticides, and other nerve agents. Also disclosed are methods for the use of labeled AChE and labeled AChE inhibitory conjugate compositions in a variety of areas, including the detecting of toxic materials in biological samples, in the area of food and water analysis, in environmental monitoring, and in industrial settings.
