An extended architecture built upon the double-Dawson-type polyoxoanion.

An unprecedented extended architecture, Na(8)H(2)L(H(2)enMe)(4){Mn(H(2)O)(2)[(W(4)Mn(4)O(12))(P(2)W(14)O(54))(2)]}.17H(2)O, (, Na(8)H(2)L(H(2)enMe)(4)[].17H(2)O, enMe = 1,2-diaminopropane) constructed from double-Dawson type polyoxoanions (DDTP) has been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis is carried out on , which crystallizes in th...

Insect physiology: The emerging story of ecdysis

The discovery of a new insect peptide hormone that triggers ecdysis - shedding of an old cuticle - has revealed hidden layers of intricacy about an insect behavior previously thought to be mediated by a single neuropeptide.

Solution structure of an insect growth factor, growth-blocking peptide.

Growth-blocking peptide (GBP) is an insect growth factor consisting of 25 amino acid residues that retards the development of lepidopteran larvae at high concentration while it stimulates larval growth at low concentration. In this study, we determined the solution structure of GBP by two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. The structure contains a short segment of double-stranded beta-sheet invol...
