Advances in Structural Biology for Anesthetic Drug Mechanisms: Insights into General and Local Anesthesia

Advances in Structural Biology for Anesthetic Drug Mechanisms: Insights into General and Local Anesthesia

Anesthesia is a cornerstone of modern medicine, enabling surgery, pain management, and critical care. Despite its widespread use, the precise molecular mechanisms of anesthetic action remain incompletely understood. Recent advancements in structural biology, including cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-...
