Scope and Contents
Contents
3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase (DHPAAS) catalyzes oxygen-dependent conversion of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DHPAA), a likely cross-linking agent precursor of the insect cuticle. In the current study, extensive in vivo experiments in
Aedes aegypti
show that DHPAAS is essential for abdominal...
