Fig. 1From: Molecular and physiological characterization of the chitin synthase B gene isolated from Culex pipiens pallens (Diptera: Culicidae)Alignment of the conserved catalytic domain of chitin synthases from three mosquito species Seven characteristic motifs (M1–M7) in insect chitin synthases are highlighted. Dashes are used to denote gaps introduced to maximise alignment. Abbreviations: Ae, Aedes aegypti; Ag, Anopheles gambiae; Cp, Culex pipiens pallensBack to article page
