[PDF][PDF] Agonist selectivity and ion permeation in the α3β4 ganglionic nicotinic receptor

A Gharpure, J Teng, Y Zhuang, CM Noviello, RM Walsh… - Neuron, 2019 - cell.com
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are pentameric ion channels that mediate fast chemical
neurotransmission. The α3β4 nicotinic receptor subtype forms the principal relay between the …

Shared structural mechanisms of general anaesthetics and benzodiazepines

JJ Kim, A Gharpure, J Teng, Y Zhuang, RJ Howard… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Most general anaesthetics and classical benzodiazepine drugs act through positive modulation
of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A ) receptors to dampen neuronal activity in the …

Differential interactions of resting, activated, and desensitized states of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor with lipidic modulators

Y Zhuang, CM Noviello, RE Hibbs… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel that modulates
neuronal excitability, largely by allowing Ca 2+ permeation. Agonist binding promotes …

S Zhou, Y Zhuang, Z Wu, W Gu, P Yu… - CSEE Journal of …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents a planning and real-time pricing approach for EV charging stations (CSs).
The approach takes the form of a bi-level model to fully consider the interest of both the …

[HTML][HTML] Structural insights into opposing actions of neurosteroids on GABAA receptors

DH Legesse, C Fan, J Teng, Y Zhuang… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
γ-Aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A ) receptors mediate fast inhibitory signaling in the brain
and are targets of numerous drugs and endogenous neurosteroids. A subset of …

[PDF][PDF] Structure and dynamics of differential ligand binding in the human ρ-type GABAA receptor

J Cowgill, C Fan, N Haloi, V Tobiasson, Y Zhuang… - Neuron, 2023 - cell.com
The neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) drives critical inhibitory processes in and
beyond the nervous system, partly via ionotropic type-A receptors (GABA A Rs). …
