Description
This year we create a revolutionary system that integrates biological pesticides, automatic detector, sprinkler, and IoT. We made a database that contains most of the spider toxins and selected the target toxins by programming. Orally Active Insecticidal Peptide is coded for the venom of a spider, Selenotypus plumipes. It is under the control of the strong T7 promoter. A 6xHistag is added for further protein purification.Mechanism of OAIP
Orally Active Insecticidal Peptide has a structure called ICK(inhibitor cysteine knot). This kind of structure contains three disulfide bonds. With this structure OAIP can resist the high temperature, acid base solution and the digest juice of insect gut. OAIP can bind on the voltage-gated sodium channel in the insect???s nervous system, making it paralyze and die eventually.
