1. Membrane-mimetic systems : Novel methods and results from studies of respiratory enzymes
Sammanfattning : The processes localized to biological membranes are of great interest, both from a scientific and pharmaceutical point of view. Understanding aspects such as the detailed mechanism and regulation of these processes requires investigation of the structure and function of the membrane-bound proteins in which they take place. LÄS MER
2. Studies of membrane-binding proteins involved in synaptic vesicle recycling
Sammanfattning : Signaling between neurons occurs at synapses. A presynaptic nerve terminal releases neurotransmitter, which diffuses over the synaptic cleft, and binds to postsynaptic receptors. Release occurs by fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane. LÄS MER
3. Molecular mechanisms in synaptic vesicle recycling
Sammanfattning : Neurons communicate through specialized contacts called synapses, which consist of pre- and postsynaptic compartments separated by a narrow synaptic cleft. The stimulus- dependent rapid influx of calcium ions into the presynaptic compartment induces fusion of neurotransmitter-filled vesicles with the plasma membrane and release of their content into the synaptic cleft.

4. The role of multifunctional scaffolding proteins in the synaptic vesicle cycle
Sammanfattning : Fast synaptic transmission occurs at specialized junctions between neurons referred to as chemical synapses. Action potentials induce an influx of calcium ions into presynaptic terminals, which contain neurotransmitter-filled synaptic vesicles (SVs), triggering fusion of the vesicles with the plasma membrane and resulting in the release of neurotransmitters.

5. Synaptic vesicle endocytosis studied in a living synapse
Sammanfattning : Neurons in the central nervous system communicate by transmitting electrical signals at special sites of contact called synapses. Synapses contain neurotransmitter-filled synaptic vesicles, which fuse with the presynaptic plasma membrane. The neurotransmitter diffuses to the neighboring neuron and triggers a new electrical signal. LÄS MER
