Lewis Acids and Bases02:33

Lewis Acids and Bases

48.4K
In 1923, G. N. Lewis proposed a generalized definition of acid-base behavior in which acids and bases are identified by their ability to accept or to donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Amino acids03:42

Amino acids

105.5K
Amino acids are the monomers that comprise proteins. Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which consists of a central carbon atom, or the alpha (α) carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and to a hydrogen atom. Every amino acid also has another atom or group of atoms bonded to the central atom known as the R group. There are 20 common amino acids present in proteins, each with a different R group. Variation in the amino acid sequence is responsible for...

Polyprotic Acids03:38

Polyprotic Acids

32.0K
Acids are classified by the number of protons per molecule that they can give up in a reaction. Acids such as HCl, HNO3, and HCN that contain one ionizable hydrogen atom in each molecule are called monoprotic acids. Their reactions with water are:

Mixtures of Acids03:27

Mixtures of Acids

21.8K
The pH of a solution containing an acid can be determined using its acid dissociation constant and its initial concentration. If a solution contains two different acids, then its pH can be determined using one of several methods depending upon the relative strength of the acids and their dissociation constants.
A Mixture of a Strong Acid and a Weak Acid
In a mixture of a strong acid and a weak acid, the strong acid dissociates completely and becomes a source of almost all the hydronium ions...

Nucleic Acids02:43

Nucleic Acids

50.3K
Nucleic acids are the most important macromolecules for the continuity of life. They carry the cell's genetic blueprint and carry instructions for its functioning.
DNA and RNA
The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. In prokaryotes,...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Serotonin receptors play a crucial role in brain function and are targeted by psychoactive substances like LSD.
  • Understanding the spatial distribution of these receptors is key to modeling drug effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate a serotonin receptor map with a dynamic brain activity model.
  • To investigate the effects of LSD on brain activity using this integrated model.
  • To establish a new platform for drug discovery.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computational model incorporating a detailed map of serotonin receptor distribution.
  • Simulation of brain activity under the influence of LSD within the developed model.

Main Results:

  • The integrated model successfully simulated dynamic brain activity influenced by LSD.
  • The receptor map provided critical data for understanding drug-induced neural changes.

Conclusions:

  • This integrated approach offers new insights into experimental manipulation of healthy brain activity.
  • The developed platform presents a novel strategy for discovering new drugs targeting the serotonin system.
