The NMDA receptor I/V curve is nonlinear, why? What about the GluA2-containing AMPA receptor I/V curve? Draw both under normal physiological conditions. In addition, explain what happens for the NMDA receptor I/V curve when you lower the magnesium concentration.
Ethanol is unusual in that it is freely soluble in both water and lipids. Thus, it has access to all regions of the highly vascularized brain. Although the molecular basis of ethanol action in the brain is not clear, ethanol evidently influences a number of neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels. Suggest a biochemical explanation for the diverse effects of ethanol.
If intracellular [ATP] = 5 mM, [ADP] = 0.5 mM, and [Pi] = 1.0 mM, calculate the concentration of AMP at pH 7 and 25°C under the condition that the adenylate kinase reaction is at equilibrium.

(a) In class thus far, we have focused our membrane transport energetics discussions on the transfer of K+ ions. Of course, in the cell there are other ions that contribute to the overall resting membrane potential (Autotal). To estimate the overall resting membrane potential for the predominant ions present in the cell, we must first calculate the individual resting membrane potential. Using the Nernst equation discussed in class, and the values provided below, calculate A for each ion. lon K+ Na+ Ca²+ CI- [ion] outside cell 6 mM 145 mM 4 mM 90 mM [ion] inside cell 145mM 8 mM 0.001 mM 6 mMarrow_forward
