Enzyme characterization brings biochemists closer to mosquito drug targets

(Phys.org) -- Researchers from Virginia Tech, the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the University of Wisconsin Madison have identified key structural components of an enzyme that plays many roles in insects, including cuticle and melatonin synthesis and biogenic amine detoxification. This enzyme is especially active in the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a vector known for transmitting yellow fever and dengue fever.
