Noncovalent Interactions of Silent Agonists Binding to the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor -and- Investigation into Expanding the Substrate Scope and Improving the Efficiency of Organic Photochemical Protecting Groups

<p>This dissertation describes two very different projects. The first project focuses on the binding of a silent agonist to a ligand gated ion channel. The second project focuses on the study of development of new longer wavelength photolabile protecting groups for use in a biological setting...
