Enhancement of Neurotransmitter Release Induced by BrainDerived Neurotrophic Factor in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons (1998)

Yinong Zhang, Henry A. Lester, Erin M. Schuman

> 2# ] o ). Fura-2 recordings showed that BDNF elicited an increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2# ] c ). This effect was dependent on [Ca 2# ] o ; it was blocked by K252a and by...

From ab initio quantum mechanics to molecular neurobiology: A cation-pi binding site in the nicotinic receptor (1998)

Zhong, Wenge, Gallivan, Justin P., Zhang, Yinong, Li, Lintong, Lester, Henry A., Dougherty, Dennis A.

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is the prototype ligand-gated ion channel. A number of aromatic amino acids have been identified as contributing to the agonist binding site, suggesting that...

The Caenorhabditis elegans seven-transmembrane protein ODR-10 functions as an odorant receptor in mammalian cells (1997)

Zhang, Yinong, Chou, Joseph H., Bradley, Jonathan, Bargmann, Cornelia I., Zinn, Kai

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits behavioral responses to many volatile odorants. Chemotaxis toward one such odorant, diacetyl (butanedione), requires the function of a seven-transmembrane...

Exploiting instruction level parallelism with the DS architecture (1996)

Zhang, Yinong

DS is a new microarchitecture that combines decoupled (DAE) and superscalar techniques to exploit instruction level parallelism. Programs for DS are compiled into two instruction substreams: the...

From ab initio quantum mechanics to molecular neurobiology: A cation–π binding site in the nicotinic receptor

Zhong, Wenge, Gallivan, Justin P., Zhang, Yinong, Li, Lintong, Lester, Henry A., Dougherty, Dennis A.

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is the prototype ligand-gated ion channel. A number of aromatic amino acids have been identified as contributing to the agonist binding site, suggesting that...

The Caenorhabditis elegans seven-transmembrane protein ODR-10 functions as an odorant receptor in mammalian cells

Zhang, Yinong, Chou, Joseph H., Bradley, Jonathan, Bargmann, Cornelia I., Zinn, Kai

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits behavioral responses to many volatile odorants. Chemotaxis toward one such odorant, diacetyl (butanedione), requires the function of a seven-transmembrane...

Specificity of the HP1 chromo domain for the methylated N-terminus of histone H3

Jacobs, Steven A., Taverna, Sean D., Zhang, Yinong, Briggs, Scott D., Li, Jinmei, Eissenberg, Joel C., ...

Recent studies show that heterochromatin-associated protein-1 (HP1) recognizes a ‘histone code’ involving methylated Lys9 (methyl-K9) in histone H3. Using in situ immunofluorescence, we...

Rapid Determination of Advanced Glycation End Products of Proteins Using MALDI-TOF-MS and PERL Script Peptide Searching Algorithm

Zhang, Yinong, Cocklin, Ross R., Bidasee, Keshore R., Wang, Mu

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are composed of various glucose or carbohydrate adducts, are thought to be responsible for several diabetic and age-related complications. However, to...
