Safety, Tolerability, And Efficacy Of Fixed Combination Therapy With Dorzolamide Hydrochloride 2% And Timolol Maleate 05% In Glaucoma And Ocular Hypertension, Nicholas P Bell, José L Ramos, Robert M Feldman

Journal Articles

Glaucoma is a collection of diseases characterized by multifactorial progressive changes leading to visual field loss and optic neuropathy most frequently due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). The goal of treatment is the lowering of the IOP to prevent additional optic nerve damage. Treatment usually begins with topical pharmacological agents as monotherapy, progresses to combination therapy with agents from up to 4 different classes of IOP-lowering medications, and then proceeds to laser or incisional surgical modalities for refractory cases. The fixed combination therapy with the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor dorzolamide hydrochloride 2% and the beta blocker timolol maleate 0.5% is now …


Study Of Polytopic Membrane Protein Topological Organization As A Function Of Membrane Lipid Composition, Mikhail Bogdanov, Philip N Heacock, William Dowhan Jan 2010

Study Of Polytopic Membrane Protein Topological Organization As A Function Of Membrane Lipid Composition, Mikhail Bogdanov, Philip N Heacock, William Dowhan

Journal Articles

A protocol is described using lipid mutants and thiol-specific chemical reagents to study lipid-dependent and host-specific membrane protein topogenesis by the substituted-cysteine accessibility method as applied to transmembrane domains (SCAM). SCAM is adapted to follow changes in membrane protein topology as a function of changes in membrane lipid composition. The strategy described can be adapted to any membrane system.
