Competition between lithium and magnesium ions for the G-protein transducin in the guanosine 5'-diphosphate bound conformation

Li+ is the most effective drug used to treat bipolar disorder; however, its exact mechanism of action has yet to be elucidated. One hypothesis is that Li+ competes with Mg2+ for the Mg2+ binding sites on guanine-nucleotide binding proteins (G-proteins). Using 7Li T1 relaxation measurements and fluor...
