Abstract excerpt
Three point mutations R335S, L336V and V476L, distinguish the sequence of a cytochrome P450 CYP6A2 variant assumed to be responsible for 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(4'-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) resistance in the RDDT(R) strain of Drosophila melanogaster. To determine the impact of each mutation on t...
