Authors
The ability of anesthetics to reversibly suppress consciousness must reside in the effects exerted onto specific molecular targets. Interactions between volatile anesthetics and the phospholipid membrane as well as intracellular tubulin, were investigated using Computational Molecular Modelling, which showed rapid ligand partitioning inside the membrane and significant effects on the mechanical characteristics thereof, while transient binding locations have been found on the tubulin dimer.
