High cytotoxic activity of a bifunctional chimeric protein containing a ribosoma inactivatiiong protein (RIP) and a serine protease inhibitor (WSCI)

Abstract

In order to provide a more effective control of phytophagous insects, a bifunctional chimeric protein, potentially able to act as insecticide, has been designed and expressed in "E. coli" cells.

E' stata progettata una proteina chimerica bifunzionale, potenzialmente in grado di agire come insetticida, allo scopo di aver un efficace metodo di controllo degli insetti fitofagi.
