Abstract excerpt
The effects of two pyrethroids on recombinant wild-type and mutant (pyrethroid-resistant) Na+ channels of Drosophila melanogaster have been studied. Three mutations that confer resistance (kdr/superkdr) to pyrethroids were inserted, either individually or in combination, into the para Na+ channel of D. melanogaster: L1014F in domain IIS6, M918T in the IIS4-S5 linker, and T929I in domain IIS5. Channels were...
