Optical and electrical properties of thiarubrine A simulated via the Hückel method and the nonequilibrium Green’s function by Francesco Scotognella

“…IntroductionThiarubrine A, a fascinating class of linear carbon chains, can be extracted from certain plants and are known for their photolabile pigment properties.MethodsIn this study, a modified Hückel method to investigate the optical properties of thiarubrine A has been employed, determining its absorption spectrum and wavelength-dependent complex refractive index. Additionally, using the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism, the conductance of a single thiarubrine A molecule has been derived.Results and discussionLight absorption, complex refractive index dispersion, and conductance of thiarubrine A have been simulated. …”

Distinct functional domains of Dystroglycan regulate inhibitory synapse formation and maintenance in cerebellar Purkinje cells by Jennifer N. Jahncke, Eric Schnell, Kevin M. Wright

“…While Dystroglycan is required to maintain inhibitory synapses from cerebellar molecular layer interneurons (MLIs) onto Purkinje cells (PCs) whether initial synaptogenesis during development is dependent on Dystroglycan has not been examined. We show that mice with conditional deletion of Dystroglycan from Purkinje cells prior to synaptogenesis results in impaired MLI:PC synapse formation and function due to reduced presynaptic inputs and abnormal postsynaptic GABAA receptor clustering. …”
