We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in binding complex with Ketamine

-Try to included methods of receptor functioning.... Mention AMPA receptors, Kainate receptors, NMDA receptors, with respect to glutamate regulation, also similarities of PCP and Ketamine. Make sure to mention the MG2+ plug in the ionotropic pore of NMDA receptors... how disruption of the ionic flow/balance affects other receptors, and the synapse as a whole.

ANything that seems to involved, or not closely related enough we can start throwing into the additional information section. I haven't spoken with Justin, so I have no idea how that's going.

Overall Structure

-I think we need at least 3 green scenes... I'll try to have one for PCP and ketamine binding sites, I'm not sure what you need for overall structure. It might be more coherent if we reference specific topics from the introduction.
