"If we hope to cure diseases, we need to know how the central nervous system actually works,” said Beckman Institute Postdoctoral Fellow James Checco (pictured), who led the new research with Jonathan Sweedler, a professor of chemistry.

Beckman Institute Postodoctoral Fellow James Checco coauthored a paper with, among others, Professor Jonathan Sweedler. The Beckman Institute's article "Unusual Modification of Neuropeptides Play Important Roles in the Central Nervous System" will give you more information about the paper and quotes from its authors. 

The paper, “Molecular and Physiological Characterization of a Receptor for D-Amino Acid-Containing Neuropeptides,” which can be found here, was published in March in ACS Chemical Biology.
