Identification of musk compounds as inhibitors of the main SARS-CoV-2 protease by molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society
As new drug development is a long process, reuse of bioactives may be the answer to new epidemics; thus, screening existing bioactive compounds against a new SARS-CoV-2 infection is an important task.

A mosquito hemolymph odorant-binding protein family member specifically binds juvenile hormone

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
Juvenile hormone (JH) is a key regulator of insect development and reproduction. In adult mosquitoes, it is essential for maturation of the ovary and normal male reproductive behavior, but how JH distribution and activity is regulated after secretion is ...

Identification and Functional Characterization of the Leg-Enriched Chemosensory Protein PxylCSP9 in Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

Biology
Plutella xylostella, a major pest of cruciferous vegetables, depends predominantly on chemoreception to locate host plants. Legs are crucial in insect chemical perception, particularly during close-range and contact chemoreception. However, the molecular

Identification and odor exposure regulation of odorant-binding proteins in Picromerus lewisi

Frontiers in Physiology
The highly developed sensitive olfactory system is essential for Picromerus lewisi Scott (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) adults, an widely distributed natural predatory enemy, to locate host plants. During this process, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to have significant involvement in the olfactory recognition.

Nematicidal action of Clonostachys rosea against Meloidogyne incognita: in-vitro and in-silico analyses

Journal of Taibah University for Science
Clonostachys rosea is a biocontrol agent against a wide range of pests and diseases. In the present study, an in-vitro nematicidal activity of C. rosea has been documented by observing the behavioural response of Meloidogyne incognita (Mi) towards the ...
