Its effect on insect metabolism and especially on corpora allata farnesoic acid methyltransferase, which catalyzes the penultimate step of juvenile hormone biosynthesis, was investigated in Locusta migratoria. Injection of sinefungin results in a delay of imaginal molt and in suppression of ovary development. Isolated corpora allata are unable to synthesize juvenile hormone III in the presence of more than 1.0 mM sinefungin. In a cell-free system containing the S-adenosylmethionine-dependent farnesoic acid methyltransferase from corpora allata sinefungin is a competitive inhibitor of the synthesis of methylfarnesoate with Ki of 1 μM.}, language = {en} } @misc{LaschewskyRingsdorf1988, author = {Laschewsky, Andr{\´e} and Ringsdorf, H.}, title = {Polymerization of amphiphilic dienes in Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-17176}, year = {1988}, abstract = {Amphiphilic derivatives of octadiene and docosadiene were investigated in monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers, with respect to their self-organization and their polymerization behavior. All amphiphiles investigated form monolayers. However, only acid and alcohol derivatives were able to build up multilayers. Those multilayers are rapidly photopolymerized in the layers via a two-step process: Irradiation with long-wavelength UV light yields soluble polymers, whereas additional irradiation with sfiort-wavelength UV light produces insoluble and presumably cross-linked polymers. The reaction meclianism is discussed according to the polymer characterization by UV spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, NMR spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. All multilayers undergo structural changes during the polymerization; substantial changes result in defects in the polymerized layers as observed by scanning electron microscopy. In contrast to the acids and alcohols, the deposition of monolayers of the aldehyde derivatives did not yield well-ordered multilayers, but rather amorphous films. In this different film structure, the photopolymerization process differs from the one observed in multilayers.}, language = {en} } @misc{LupoPrassScheunemannetal.1988, author = {Lupo, Donald and Prass, Werner and Scheunemann, Ude and Laschewsky, Andr{\´e} and Ringsdorf, Helmut and Ledoux, Isabelle}, title = {Second-harmonic generation in Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of stilbazium salt and phenylhydrazone dyes}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-17401}, year = {1988}, abstract = {Contents: 1.
