A #greenhouse gas (GHG) is a constituent of the #atmosphere that absorbs and emits longwave radiation, impeding the flow of heat from the Earth's surface into space. This process is the physical basis of the greenhouse effect, formally defined as "the infrared radiative effect of all infrared absorbing constituents in the atmosphere," which includes greenhouse gases, clouds, and some aerosols.

Drugs to treat #inflammatory and #autoimmune diseases — such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid #arthritis or #Chrousos syndrome — act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This essential protein regulates vital processes in various tissues, so understanding its structure and function at the #molecular level is essential for designing more effective and safer drugs.
