channels widely distributed in the central and peripheric nervous system and in non …

A brief historical overview of the concept of allosteric interaction is presented together with
the different kinds of allosteric control recognized, in the past decades, with the model …

Along with the well-known rewarding effects, activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
(nAChRs) can also relieve pain, and some nicotinic agonists have analgesic efficacy similar …

The regulation of L-type Ca2+ channels by protein kinase A (PKA) represents a crucial
element within cardiac, skeletal muscle and neurological systems. Although much work has …
