Extracellular purine (ATP, ADP) and pyrimidine (UTP, UDP) nucleotides mediate their effects via P2 receptors (Ralevic and Burnstock, 1998). P2 receptors consist of ligand-gated intrinsic ion channels, ...
Researchers used a novel phosphate-activation reagent, 2-MeImIm-Cl, in an improved coupling reaction to increase the yield of ADP- or ATP-containing molecules. Unlike traditional reactions, the ...
