Molecular Mechanisms of Insect Olfaction Toward Sesquiterpenoid Stereoisomers
Macquarie University
Faculty of Science and Engineering
How do insects distinguish between mirror-image molecules, and why can a subtle change in stereochemistry transform a strong attractant into a compound that elicits no response? This PhD project explores the molecular mechanisms that drive insect recognition of sesquiterpenoid stereoisomers, a class of compounds commonly involved in true bug pheromone communication.
