Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science and collaborators used cryo-EM to decode the molecular architecture of a transporter protein controlling the movement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain. GABA is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter because it inhibits certain brain ...

GABA is a neurotransmitter that reduces brain activity, but it's also a supplement that could help with sleep.

One of the smallest protein structures ever determined using cryo-EM, GAT1 is fundamental to GABA neurotransmission and its structural determination is pivotal to developing therapies for a range of ...

Scientists elucidate, for the first time, the structure of the GABA transporter 1 (GAT-1) protein using cryogenic electron microscopy. The findings could lead to new, better treatments for ...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter, or chemical messenger, in the brain. It has a calming effect by blocking certain signals in the nervous system. The brain produces and responds to ...

Using Cryo-EM, a powerful microscopy technique, researchers at IISc and collaborators have decoded the molecular architecture of a transporter protein controlling the movement of a key ...

The brain is an almost inconceivably complex system of billions of neurons interlinked via trillions of connections that work to coordinate everything you do, think, and feel (Zimmer, 2011). This ...
