In spite of their wide and popular usage in clinics, the mechanism explaining why a certain pharmacological activity is superimposed onto another for a given benzodiazepine remains unclear. The knowledge of the conformation of benzodiazepines and their electronic charge distribution at molecular surfaces may give new insights into the pharmaco-benzodiazepine receptor interactions, contri… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
