1
Q

describe neoantigen:

A

xenobitoic interacts or binds to a protein and you get an interaction, That protein is not recognized as “self” anymore and antigens attack it.

Q

examples of drugs that influence action potential

A
  1. tetradoxin: toxin from the puffer fish. Bassically blocks sodium channels on the neuron and action potential is coordinated by sodium channels. 2. DDT- endocrine disruptin chemicals, it overstimulates sodium channels

Q

describe the electrochemical gradient:

A

open up the gate and let the electrons flow you create some energy and that energy along with oxygen you drive ATP synthase which converts NAD to NADH

Q

2 examples of things that impact receptor functions

A
  1. Barbituarates (modern generation sleeping pills benzodiazepines), these drugs are agonists of GABA (Gamma-amino benzoic acid) 2. alpha-bungarotoxin (cobra venom)- binds covalently and irreversibly to nicotinic receptors (acetycholine receptors)

Q

what are the 4 main steps for neurotransmitters?

A
  1. synthesis and storage of NT 2. release of neurotransmitter 3. neurotransmitter binds to receptor 4. inactivate the neurotransmitter.

Q

how do you inactivate a neurotransmitter?

A

can be edgraded or the neurotransmitter can be recycled and re-used and taken back up in the pre synaptic neuron

16
Q

describe hydrogen abstraction:

A

the xenobitoic removes a hydrogen and creates an electrophile.

17
Q

what does botulism toxin do?

A

binds nerve membrane and blocks acetycholine release

18
Q

Describe the receptor theory:

A

concentration of xenobitoic in combination of concentration of receptor, rpdouces (reversible interaction) that determines a concentration of xenobitoic receptor complexes. These complexes determine the biological effect.

19
Q

what is an example of electrotransfer?

A

redox reactions such as with hemoglobin

20
Q

what are 4 target molecues?

A

proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbs

21
Q

2 examples of what can happen with disfunction of cell maintenance?

A
  1. impaired internal maintenance- cell death/injury 2. impaired external maintenance- impaired function of integrated systems
22
Q

Organophosphates inhibit acetycholineterase (ACHe), what are the symptoms?

A

SLUD, salivation, lacrimation, urination and defecation

23
Q

what are three effects on target molecules?

A
  1. dysfunction- activation or most commonly inactivation 2. destruction- e.g. suicide inhibition 3. neoantigen formation-
24
Q

what does black widow spider venom do?

A

empties vessicles of acetycholine. Massive increase in acetycholine. Can’t get re-newed action potentials and you die

25
Q

what does organophosphorous chemicals do?

A

they inhibit acetycholine esterase (ACHE) which is the stop signal. Get an increase of neurotransmitter concentration in the synapse.

26
Q

is it parasympathic and sympathic that makes you alert and ready?

A

sympathetic. parasympathetic chills you out

27
Q

what does prozac do?

A

is an selective serotonic reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs).

28
Q

Organophosphates inhibit acetycholineterase (ACHe), what are the 3 drugs to treat organic phosphate poisioning?

A
  1. Atropine (muscarinic recepto antagonist) 2. Pralidozime- it pulls the OP off of the molecule and re activates the enzyme 3. Benzodiazepience- relives anxiety
29
Q

Define agonist:

A

a xenobitoic that binds to a receptor and basically mimics the ligand

30
Q

where are neurotransmitters stored?

A

vesicles

31
Q

Define anatagonist:

A

xenobitoic that binds to the receptor and produces no response

32
Q

what is an example of an alteration of biological environment?

A

ethylene glycol (what we put in our car). we would get oxalat crystals in our kidneys if we ingested this. This stuff tastes sweet so cats and dogs taste it. It only takes 5ml or 10 ml to kill a cat This chemical enters the kidney and because of the pH change it crystalizes which b,ocks all of your nephorns and is a very painful way to die.

33
Q

what are the 5 reaction types how substrates bind with enzymes

A
  1. Noncovalent binding- weak and reversible 2. Covalent binding- permanent, ireeversible 3. Hydrogen abstraction 4. electrotransfer 5. enzymatic reactions
34
Q

how are neurotranskitters released?

A

get an action potential coming down the neuron and release the neurotransmitter into synapse.

35
Q

impaired gene regulation can mean what?

A

inappropriate cell division, apoptosis, and protein synthesis

36
Q

once the neurotransmitter binds to a receptor then what?

A

the receptors could either carry on the signal or the receptor could cause its effects.
