Structural dependence of the cellular isoform of prion protein on solvent: spectroscopic characterization of an intermediate conformation.

abstract：:Renal dopamine receptors have been shown to play a critical role in ROS-dependent hypertension. D5 dopamine receptor deficient (D5-/-) mice are hypertensive and have increased systemic oxidative stress which is manifested in the kidney and the brain. To further investigate the underlying mechanisms of hypertension in ...
