Gpcrs - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

This document is written in english. It contains a summary of the lectures given in the course Molecular Therapy (with some mnemonics/ezelsbruggetjes to remember things). There are many pictures included for a better understanding. Also there is a summary of the E-learing about pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Besides that, the subjects in this document are about drug development/delivery/transport. RTK, cytosolic, and GPCRs receptors. (genetic) therapies for retinal disease and renal dise...

when cells respond to an extracellular signal, they most often convert the information carried by this molecule from one form to another. What is this process called? - Answer-signal transduction When does signal transduction begin? - Answer-when the receptor on a target cell recieves and incoming extracellular signal and then produces intracellular signaling molecules that alter cell behavior extracellular signal molecules, released locally example: inflammation regulation at site of infe...

Pharmacodynamics The study of what the drug does to the body -drug receptor interactions After drugs bind to receptor sites they can... induce or block alterations of shape Agonism the drug mimics the effects of neurotransmitter Antagonism the drug prevents action that would normally be carried out when a drug binds to a receptor inverse agonism binds to the inactive form of a receptor and shifts the equilibrium so that the opposite response to an agonist is produced (from baseline)...

NSCI 175 Final Exam Review. Questions with complete Answers 2023 Explain Why Progress in science is often slow -Because experiments take time and the process of observation, replication, interpretation, and verification is exhaustive. It also takes time to get published and for the new information to become widespread. Explain the Reductionist Approach: - How is the Approach? Is the process of breaking down the enormous problem of understanding how the brain works into smaller pieces ...
