A molecular characterization of agonists that bind to Hco-UNC-49, a GABA-gated chloride channel from Haemonchus contortus
(2012-11-01)Haemonchus contortus is a blood feeding parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health at great economic cost. The ability to pharmaceutically control infection has been challenged by the rapid ... -
Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2009-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled by several nematocides which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc- 49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride ... -
Molecular characterization of the binding site of nematode GABA-A receptors
(2010-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled in large part by nematocidal drugs that target receptors of the parasitic nervous system. Hco-UNC-49 is a nematode GABA receptor that has a relatively low ... -
Molecular characterization of the interactions of the Resistance-Nodulation-Division Pump MexJK of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with outer membrane proteins OprM and OpmH.
(2013-08-01)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, which has become a significant threat due to wide-spread antimicrobial resistance. Resistance Nodulation Division efflux pumps are important ... -
