All of these effects depend on the puzzle-like system that is molecular biology. The structure of a neurotransmitter such as ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers presented the molecular structure of dopamine transporter (DAT) complexed with cocaine. Cocaine is highly addictive, and its misuse ...

A team of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (D.T.U.) and University of Oxford have for the first time identified the molecular structure of dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), the ...

For the first time, researchers are able to describe how the dopamine transporter involved in cocaine use operates at the molecular level, which could pave the way to future targeted treatments.

connecting to brain cells via a molecular "receptor," and stopping brain cells from sucking in dopamine chemicals through a strawlike structure called a transporter. All of this happens in the ...
