A synthetic biology approach to the rational design of analogues of olfactory ligands by providing unnatural substrates for the enzyme synthesising (S)-germacrene D, an olfactory ligand acting as a plant derived insect repellent, to produce novel ligands is described as a viable alternative to largely unsuccessful ligand docking studies. (S)-14,15-Dimethylgermacrene D shows an unexpected reversal in behavioural activity.
一种合成生物学方法,通过为合成嗅觉配体(S)-吉马烯D(一种作为植物源昆虫驱避剂的嗅觉配体)的酶提供非天然底物,来合理设计嗅觉配体类似物以产生新型配体,被描述为在很大程度上不成功的配体对接研究的一种可行替代方法。(S)-14,15-二甲基吉马烯D在行为活性上表现出意外的反转。
