tetetesbun Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 So imagine that you have a new drug that makes humans learn better. This drug that you have can work on receptors at synaptic terminals, but does not necessarily have to. You have to determine what are the proteins that this drug works on. To prove this you need to design 5 sets of experiments that test this. Experiments can be independent or it can be one experiment that builds on itself. ----I was thinking of using fluorescent technology to show that the protein dealing with the drug is activated in brain... or maybe since the drug does not have to to work on receptors at synaptic terminals, then maybe i can use a reporter gene to show the expression of the protein dealing with the drug in a certain area of the body - "dealing with learning" You guys have any ideas? because i am totally stuck... ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Weird question for a homework assignment. What's it for? Thought about using the blood brain barrier to reduce the number of potential proteins responsible for the effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
