The interaction between salmeterol and the beta2-adrenoceptor protein: salmeterol irreversibly binds to the hydrophobic core of the seven transmembrane protein

Article Abstract:

Salmeterol is bound to the beta2-adrenoceptor protein since its nonpolar N-substituent participates in hydrophobic interactions. These interactions have been found to occur within the hydrophobic core of the seven transmembrane domain beta2-adrenoceptor proteins rather than at the polar outer surface of the protein. Salmeterol resulted from the induction of sustained beta-adrenoceptor agonism by stable agonist-receptor protein complexes.

Isolation of a putative ribosome inactivating protein from dried roots of Trichosanthes kirilowii used in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Article Abstract:

Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) accumulate in many plants, and are known to have a wide range of properties and applications. A putative RIP was isolated from dried roots of Trichosanthes kirilowi Maximovicz, which are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for the treatment of choriocarcinoma, hydatiform moles, and invasive moles.
