Journal ArticleDOI

Research electronic data capture (REDCap)-A metadata-driven methodology and workflow process for providing translational research informatics support

TL;DR: Research electronic data capture (REDCap) is a novel workflow methodology and software solution designed for rapid development and deployment of electronic data Capture tools to support clinical and translational research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allosteric Antagonism of Insect Odorant Receptor Ion Channels

TL;DR: The first Orco antagonist is described and characterized, capable of non-competitively inhibiting odorant-evoked activation of OR complexes, thereby providing additional insight into the structure/function of this unique family of ligand-gated ion channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure–Activity Relationship of a Broad-Spectrum Insect Odorant Receptor Agonist

TL;DR: The chemical space around VUAA1, the first in class agonist of the obligate OR co-receptor ion channel, is explored, and novel compound analogues with increased potency across insect taxa are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

A conserved aspartic acid is important for agonist (VUAA1) and odorant/tuning receptor-dependent activation of the insect odorant co-receptor (Orco).

TL;DR: The gain-of-activation characteristic of the D466E mutant identifies an amino acid that is likely to be important for activation of both heteromeric and homomeric insect odorant receptor channels.
