DPNB-ABT 594 is a nitrobenzyl-caged ABT 594, a selective α4β2 nAChR agonist. One-photon uncaging evokes large inward currents and Ca2+transients on cell bodies and dendrites of medial habenular neurons in mouse brain slices. Two-photon uncaging induces fast nAChR-mediated currents. Photolyzed with high quantum yield of 0.20. Effective photolysis occurs using one- or two-photon excitation; one-photon uncaging requires illumination at 410 nm for 1.5-3 ms; two-photon uncaging requires illumination with appropriate two photon pulse laser at 710 nm for ~2 ms.
UDP-N-acetyl-D-Glucosamine is a natural nucleotide sugar that is used by glycosyltransferases to transfer N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues to substrates.1It is an important component of antibiotic biosynthesis pathways in fungi and lipopolysaccharide production in bacteria.2,3 1.Roseman, S.Reflections on glycobiologyJ.
