Fig 6. Fluorescence binding assay for the binding affinity of B. tabaci CSP1, CSP2 and CSP3.

Fig 6

Binding constants (Ki as presented as 1/Ki) of BtabCSP1, BtabCSP2 and BtabCSP3 to linoleic acid (LA) and α-pentyl-cinnamaldehyde. The Ki values to various chemical ligands are given in Table 2. The highest binding constant value of BtabCSP1 (presented as 1/Ki) is found to LA (about 5.8 μM). Ki value of BtabCSP2 to LA is null, while Ki of BtabCSP3 to LA is only of about 48.5 μM. Higher binding constant values of BtabCSP2 and BtabCSP3 are to α-pentyl-cinnamaldehyde (5.8–10.3 μM).
