how a drug might affect the transmission of a nervous signal across the synaptic cleft from a presynaptic neuron to the post synaptic neuron. In your answer give an example of one mechanism by which this drug may affect this transmission, and explain why that mechanism leads to the drug's effect. Make sure to use the correct terms for any molecules involved in this process.

The biomolecular interaction between protein receptors and ligands is similar to that of en- zymes and substrates, which depends in part on the shape of the protein. The shape of a protein, in turn, depends on the presence of appropriate chemical bonds in the protein. Many common medications function by altering the interactions between protein receptors and ligands, thereby interfering with the normal response of a cell to specific signals. Which of the following best describes a mechanism by which a drug might interfere with a normal cellular response? A B A medication causes the cell to become more permeable and unable to maintain the conditions that allow a normal response. с A medication interrupts the electron transport chain in a cell and makes it unable to syn- thesize sufficient ATP. D A medication enters the nucleus of a cell and alters the nucleic sequence for a specific receptor protein. A medication enters a target cell and acts as an inhibitor to an intercellular protein…

The following figure depicts the breakdown of purine nucleotides, which are the nucleotides with adenine and guanine bases found in DNA and RNA. Note that uric acid is the final product of this pathway in humans. Dr. Miloslavsky and the patient discussed her history of treatment with three different drugs. You will learn more about these specific drugs as we proceed with this case. These drugs all act in some way to affect the breakdown of purines. Which of the following would reasonably be effective therapies for treating gout? (select all that apply) A drug that increases the concentration of purines entering this pathway. A drug that catalyzes the breakdown of uric acid into another compound. A drug that blocks the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of uric acid. A drug that catalyzes the breakdown of guanosine into guanine.
Buckeyium is a medication that binds to the NMDA receptor at the orthosteric binding site (were glutamate would normally bind). Assume glycine is already bonded and magnesium isn't inhibiting the NMDAR ion channel. Buckeyium would be regarded a poison if the channel did not open as a consequence of its binding.
