In the first step, nucleophilic attack on the alpha-phosphorus of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) or NAD + (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) by ligase results in release of pyrophosphate or NMN ...

It was often suspected that sweet receptors and some of the bitter receptors would be GPCRs because their downstream targets are adenylate cyclase, phosphodiesterase or/and phospholipase C.

ATP-dependent RNA ligases join 3’-OH and 5’-PO 4 RNA termini via three nucleotidyl transfer steps similar to those of DNA ligases: (Step 1) ligase reacts with ATP to form a covalent ...

This plant contains forskolin, a compound that activates an enzyme known as adenylate cyclase, which encourages the ...

Hypoglycemia is an extremely common side effect of insulin therapy experienced mainly by patients with type 1 diabetes ...

Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol. 2012;5(3):319-336. Finally, a recent study suggested that although prasugrel significantly reduces thrombotic events in patients with ACS undergoing PCI because of its ...

This inhibition results in an increase in local concentrations of adenosine which acts on the platelet A2-receptor thereby stimulating platelet adenylate cyclase and increasing platelet cyclic-3 ...

A: Animal; ACE: Accessory cholera enterotoxin; H: Human; ZOT: Zonula occludens toxin.

It can feel hopeless some days. Rest assured that scientists are working to identify other targets that trigger migraine attacks. For example, another protein that’s called pituitary adenylate cyclase ...
