Implementation of Structure-based pharmacophore modelling for in silico prediction of insecticidal activity
Edwin P. Alcantara – National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Biotech University of the Philippines (Los Banos) College, Laguna 4031 Philippines Introduction:Β A pharmacophore is the set of chemical and steric interactions between a ligand and macromolecule that are relevant to trigger biological response. In this study, the enzyme Ξ²-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase (PDB I.D. 3NSN) was […]
Developing a Chlorfluazuron Based Insecticides Bait for Multiple Termite Species
Dr Partho Dhang Abstract: The pressure for better environmental stewardship is forcing the chemical industry to look for safer formulations and much safer application techniques. Insecticidal baits are unique formulations which have combined information from insect sensory physiology, gustatory chemistry, semiochemicals and many more. Baits are target specific and allow easy application, thus being recognized […]
