Insecticide interaction with carrier and neuroproteins.
Binding of alpha-, beta-, gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane, p,p'-DDT and p,p'-DDE with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and locust brain homogenate was studied. Binding affinities of pesticides were higher for the locust brain homogenates than for BSA. Results of uptake by isolated locust brain revealed higher uptake of gamma-HCH than alpha-HCH. gamma-HCH uptake was also higher from locust haemolymph than either from BSA or from buffer.
