The structure of the juvenile hormone (JH) in the suborder Heteroptera, order Hemiptera, has been known for a very long time to be different from the JH of other orders, but the structure has been a matter of controversy. The structure was first elucidated by an unprecedented approach involving the screening of a JH molecular library. The novel Heteroptera-specific JH (JHSB(3)) is a new category of JH that is featured by the skipped bisepoxide structure.
半翅目昆虫(即同翅目昆虫)的保幼激素(JH)结构很久以前就已被确认与其他目昆虫的 JH 结构不同,但该结构一直存在争议。其结构最初是通过前所未有的方法阐明的,该方法涉及 JH 分子文库的筛选。新型半翅目特异性 JH(JHSB(3))是 JH 的一个新类别,其特征是缺少双环氧化物结构。
