Thanks to all volunteers for their contribution in the run of all *JAN* tasks which finally lead to this scientific publication:
J. Selent, F. Sanz, M. Pastor and G. De Fabritiis, Induced Effects of Sodium Ions on Dopaminergic G-Protein Coupled Receptors, PLOS computational biology, 6, e1000884 (2010).

Download it here: http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000884

In this work we show how sodium ion can modulate the activity of an important protein receptor (dopamine D2 GPCR) a drug target for the treatment of diverse central nervous system disorders (e.g. schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease).

Very interesting - and fully understandible for me.
I think this is kind of fun, because my doctoral thesis (published in 1989) was on the effect of ethanol (alcohol as in beer, wine and whiskey) on Adrenergic G-protein coupled receptors in the brain ...
Thanks Tom!
