A biochemical investigation into aspects of the neuro active amino acid receptor complexes in the insect nervous system

Baines, Peter (1986) A biochemical investigation into aspects of the neuro active amino acid receptor complexes in the insect nervous system. Doctoral thesis, City of London Polytechnic.

Abstract

Biochemical investigations were undertaken to study the glutamate (L-glu) and aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the central nervous system (CNS) of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. The aim was to provide a simple, quick and cost effective method of screening new chemical entities as potential insecticides acting on these systems, and to provide structure activity information once a series had been suggested as active in these systems.
