  2. Neuromuscular-blocking drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular-blocking_drug

    [6] [19] Based on this information one can conclude that the optimum length for neuromuscular blocking agents, depolarizing or not, should be 2 to 2.1 nm. [ 20 ] The CAR for long-chain bisquaternary tetrahydroisoquinolines like atracurium, cisatracurium, mivacurium, and doxacurium is hard to determine because of their bulky onium heads and ...

  3. Contact inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_inhibition

    This delay between cell-cell contact and onset of proliferation inhibition is shortened as the culture becomes more confluent. Thus, it may be reasonably concluded that cell-cell contact is an essential condition for contact inhibition of proliferation, but is by itself insufficient for mitotic inhibition.

  4. Enzyme inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_inhibitor

    This inhibition may follow the competitive, uncompetitive or mixed patterns. In substrate inhibition there is a progressive decrease in activity at high substrate concentrations, potentially from an enzyme having two competing substrate-binding sites. At low substrate, the high-affinity site is occupied and normal kinetics are followed.

  5. Gene silencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_silencing

    Ribozymes are catalytic RNA molecules used to inhibit gene expression. These molecules work by cleaving mRNA molecules, essentially silencing the genes that produced them. Sidney Altman and Thomas Cech first discovered catalytic RNA molecules, RNase P and group II intron ribozymes, in 1989 and won the Nobel Prize for their discovery.

  6. Reciprocal inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_inhibition

    Reciprocal inhibition is a neuromuscular process in which muscles on one side of a joint relax to allow the contraction of muscles on the opposite side, enabling smooth and coordinated movement. [1] This concept, introduced by Charles Sherrington , a pioneering neuroscientist , is also referred to as reflexive antagonism in some allied health ...

  7. Serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin–norepinephrine...

    However, it appears to act as a prodrug in vivo to metabolites that are considerably more potent and possess different ratios of monoamine reuptake inhibition in comparison, and in accordance, sibutramine behaves contrarily as an SNRI (73% and 54% for norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibition, respectively) in human volunteers with only ...

  8. Inhibitory control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhibitory_control

    Inhibitory control, also known as response inhibition, is a cognitive process – and, more specifically, an executive function – that permits an individual to inhibit their impulses and natural, habitual, or dominant behavioral responses to stimuli (a.k.a. prepotent responses) in order to select a more appropriate behavior that is consistent with completing their goals.

  9. Enzyme induction and inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Enzyme_induction_and_inhibition

    Enzyme inhibition can refer to the inhibition of the expression of the enzyme by another molecule; interference at the enzyme-level, basically with how the enzyme works. This can be competitive inhibition, uncompetitive inhibition, non-competitive inhibition or partially competitive inhibition.
