An ethanol-sensitive variant of the PC12 neuronal cell line: sensitivity to alcohol is associated with increased cell adhesion and decreased glucose accumulationD S Dwyer
Department of Psychiatry, LSU Medical Center Shreveport, Shreveport, Louisiana, 71130, USA
J Cell Physiol 178:93-101. 1999..Thus, there appears to be an interplay between energy metabolism in the cell and the response to ethanol...
Molecular simulation of the effects of alcohols on peptide structureD S Dwyer
Department of Psychiatry, LSU Medical Center Shreveport 71130, USA
Biopolymers 49:635-45. 1999..The data suggest that alcohols at low concentrations affect protein structure mainly through a combination of hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions that are influenced by the properties of the solvent...

Department of Psychiatry, Louisiana State University Medical Center, Shreveport 71130 3932, USA
Neurosci Lett 274:151-4. 1999..These findings may have implications for the adverse effects of these drugs and for the interpretation of imaging studies of brain glucose metabolism in patients on antipsychotic medications...
Chemical properties of alcohols and their protein binding sitesD S Dwyer
LSU Medical Center Shreveport, Department of Psychiatry, Louisiana 71130, USA
Cell Mol Life Sci 57:265-75. 2000..Binding at these sites may alter the local protein structure or displace bound solvent molecules and perturb the function of key proteins...
