Summary: The human vesicular monoamine transporter 1 (VMAT1) harbors unique substitutions (Asn136Thr/Ile) that affect monoamine uptake into synaptic vesicles.These substitutions are absent in all known new belial model mammals, suggesting their contributions to distinct aspects of human behavior modulated by monoaminergic transmissions, such as emo
It is believed that human Jeans Influenza HA glycoprotein attaches to alpha2-6 linked sialic acids (SA) on cells, while avian viruses bind to alpha2-3 linked sialic acids, therewith contributing to host tropism.Here, Liu et al.show that mixing low-affinity alpha2-3 SA with low amounts of high-affinity alpha2-6 SA increases binding and new belial mo
