Nernst equation What is used to calculate the membrane potential for a single ion? Goldman equation What is used to calculate the membrane potential that takes account for all ions permeant through that membrane? loss of myelination Multiple sclerosis is associated with what? ion-channel-coupled receptors, g-protein-coupled receptors, enzyme-coupled receptors linked to an enzyme, enzyme-coupled receptor associated with an enzyme What are the four types of cell surface receptors? inactive When an alpha subunit is bound to GDP, it associates with Beta-Gamma subunit and is
exchange of GDP for GTP What causes the alpha subunit to disassociate from the Beta-Gammas subunit? potassium With the cytosol having a higher concentration of _________________ it evens out the negative charge of DNA, RNA, and proteins
no Are leak channels gated? impermeable negatively charged macromolecules What contributes to the net negative resting potential of most cells? 3 and 2 For every molecule of ATP that is hydrolyzed, __ sodium ions are transported out of the cell and __ potassium ion come into the cell. cytoplasmic When membrane depolarize, they become more positively charged on the ___________________ side vesicles held in storage are mobilized for rapid release, vesicles ready for release rapidly dock and fuse with the plasma membrane in the synaptic bouton region What are the two main effects from the release of calcium within the synaptic bouton? insulin receptor binds insulin so the activated restore phosphorylates the IRS-1 protein. IRS- 1 can lead to recruitment of GRB2 activating the Gas pathway What is the first step of the insulin singling pathway? inhibits An antagonist ________ activates An agonist _________ 40 50 ____%-____% of all drugs target GPCR rhodopsin What is the GPCR we use for our vision?
