MOLECULAR
TARGETS FOR INSECTICIDE DEVELOPMENT
The
demand for new insecticides has led to increased efforts in the
agrochemical industry to find new, safe and effective products.
Particular attention is being paid to those insects that are important
in argriculture and public health. Biological Targets is identifing
and characterizing new molecular targets for the purpose of product
development. The Company's approach involves structural and functional
analyses and validation assays using high throughput screening,
crystallography and antibody production. The target-based insecticide
discovery depends on identification of appropriate targets and,
thus, facilitates a directed approach for developing products with
novel models of action.
