Proteolytic development of a spider venom peptide will result in an oral active bioinsecticide
history Toxin peptide u1-agtx-ta1b from hobo spider, Eratigena (Walckenaer, 1802),, studied to determine its potential to serve as a bioinsecticidicidicide. result U1-AGTX-TA1B has insect potentials similar to commercial insects when injected directly by insects hemolymph but lacking activity in lepidoprenas. Alanine scan acknowledged an arginine and lysine rich patch over peptide critical for bioactivity. Targeted…
