Aphids, among the most destructive insects to world agriculture, are mainly controlled by organophosphate insecticides that disable the catalytic serine residue of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Because these agents also affect vertebrate AChEs, they are toxic to non-target species including humans and
Liquid crystalline polyethers based on conformational isomerism. 6. Influence of copolymer composition of a ternary copolyether based on 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(2-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) ethane, 1, 5-dibromopentane, 1, 7-dibromoheptane, and 1, 9-dibromononane on its mesomorphic phase transitions.
