Abstract excerpt
The cytochrome P450s comprise a superfamily of mostly microsomal haemoproteins which play a dominant role in the metabolism of a variety of endogenous and foreign compounds. The use of a degenerate PCR primer targeted to the haem-binding decapeptide unique to the cytochrome P450 superfamily resulted in the identification of 14 novel cytochrome P450s in the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Ceratitis capitata. Analysis of...
