Anesthesia
Gramicidin A dynamics examined, influence on anesthesia clarified
July 25th, 2005
Recent research from the United States published in the Biophysical Journal has chronicled molecular dynamics simulations of C2F6 effects on gramicidin A (gA) and the implications of the mechanisms of general anesthesia. "It was recently postulated that the effects of general anesthetics on protein global dynamics might underlie a unitary molecular mechanism of general anesthesia," wrote Z.W. Liu and colleagues, University of Pittsburgh. "To verify that the specific dynamics effects caused by general anesthetics were not shared by nonanesthetic molecules, two parallel 8-ns all-atom molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a gA channel...
