Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

Graham A.R. Johnston mainly focuses on Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Amino acid, GABAA receptor and Glycine. His study in Pharmacology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anesthesia, Benzodiazepine, Alkaloid and Bicuculline, GABA receptor antagonist. His Biochemistry study incorporates themes from Cerebral cortex and Sodium.

His Amino acid research integrates issues from Internal medicine, Tetrodotoxin and Postsynaptic potential. His GABAA receptor study improves the overall literature in Receptor. He combines subjects such as Residue, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Central nervous system, Spinal cord and Histidine with his study of Glycine.

His most cited work include:

  • Amino acid transmitters in the mammalian central nervous system (926 citations)
  • THE STRUCTURAL SPECIFICITY OF THE HIGH AFFINITY UPTAKE OF l‐GLUTAMATE AND l‐ASPARTATE BY RAT BRAIN SLICES (640 citations)
  • Bicuculline, an antagonist of GABA and synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord of the cat. (636 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Graham A.R. Johnston mainly investigates Pharmacology, Receptor, GABAA receptor, Biochemistry and Stereochemistry. His Pharmacology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bicuculline, GABA receptor antagonist, Convulsant and Benzodiazepine. His GABAA receptor research includes themes of Endocrinology and Ionotropic effect.

Graham A.R. Johnston studied Biochemistry and Cerebral cortex that intersect with Central nervous system. His research integrates issues of gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Aminobutyric acid and Biological activity in his study of Stereochemistry. His work investigates the relationship between Glycine and topics such as Inhibitory postsynaptic potential that intersect with problems in Neurotransmission.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pharmacology (31.71%)
  • Receptor (29.76%)
  • GABAA receptor (28.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • GABAA receptor (28.78%)
  • Receptor (29.76%)
  • Pharmacology (31.71%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in GABAA receptor, Receptor, Pharmacology, GABAA-rho receptor and Stereochemistry. Graham A.R. Johnston is investigating Biochemistry and Internal medicine as part of his examination of GABAA receptor. Graham A.R. Johnston interconnects Flumazenil, Inhibitory neurotransmitter, Bicuculline, GABA receptor antagonist and Allosteric regulation in the investigation of issues within Pharmacology.

Graham A.R. Johnston has researched GABAA-rho receptor in several fields, including Biophysics, Class C GPCR and Barbiturate. The various areas that Graham A.R. Johnston examines in his Stereochemistry study include Amino acid, Aminobutyric acid and Resolution. The Amino acid study which covers NMDA receptor that intersects with Glutamate receptor.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Flavonoid modulation of GABA(A) receptors. (148 citations)
  • Baclofen: stereoselective inhibition of excitant amino acid release. (115 citations)
  • Advantages of an antagonist: bicuculline and other GABA antagonists (72 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

Graham A.R. Johnston focuses on GABAA receptor, Receptor, Pharmacology, Ionotropic effect and GABAA-rho receptor. GABAA receptor is closely attributed to Agonist in his work. His studies in Receptor integrate themes in fields like Endocrinology, Neuroscience and Stereochemistry.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Elevated plus maze, gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Flumazenil and Anxiolytic in addition to Pharmacology. His Ionotropic effect study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Selectivity, Lipophilicity, Ligand-gated ion channel and Phosphinic Acids as well as GABAA-rho receptor.
