 Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 was awarded to three scientists ? Barry Sharpless, Scripps Research, USA,  Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Stanford University, USA and  Morten Meldal, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Barry Sharpless pioneered the concept of click chemistry, a form of simple and reliable chemistry, where reactions occur quickly, and unwanted by-products are avoided. He also presented the first click reaction copper catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Carolyn Bertozzi developed click reactions that work inside living organisms. Her bioorthogonal reactions ta ..read more

3 Stages of Cell Signaling

 Cell signaling can be divided into 3 stages 1.   Stage 1 Reception: refers to the binding of the signaling molecule (ligand) to the cell surface receptor or receptor inside the cell. In the case of hydrophilic ligands such as insulin, has receptor on the cell surface as it cannot cross plasma membrane. Hydrophobic ligands such as steroid hormones can cross the plasma membrane therefore receptor may be either in the cytoplasm or nucleus. 2.    Stage 2 Transduction: The binding of ligand to the receptor causes a conformational change in the receptor that ini ..read more

3 Types of Cell Surface Receptors 1. Ion Channel Linked Receptors • Ionotropic receptors • Ion channel gated receptor • pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass through a channel pore a) Ligand gated ion channels Allow ions to flow into or out of the cell in response to the binding of a ligand to their respective receptors. Eg: Acetylcholine Receptors.  At the nerve muscle junction, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine binds to specific receptors that allows Na+ ions to flow into and K+ ions out of the target cell. GABAA receptors: that allow chloride ions to flow into a cel ..read more

Receptors in Cell Signaling Cell surface receptors are transmembrane integral proteins that interact with ligands and initiates a cellular response. The receptors may be present either on the cell surface or inside the cell depending on the chemical nature of ligand or signaling molecule. 1.  Cell surface receptors: Hydrophilic (water soluble) molecules cannot pass through lipid membrane as lipid membrane is hydrophobic. Hydrophilic molecules include peptide hormones like insulin and glucagon binds to receptors in the plasma membrane. 2.   Intracellular receptors: lipo ..read more

Cell Signaling (Cell Communication) Definition: Cell signaling is the ability of a cell to receive, process, and transmit signals with its environment and with itself. It is the basic property of all cells and is essential for survival, growth and development of an organism. Cells primarily communicates through chemical signals or called ligands (signaling molecules). Ligands are secreted by the sending cells and the target cell has a receptor specific for this ligand. Binding of ligand to the receptor causes some conformational changes that further activate some other proteins inside the cell ..read more
