Popis: 1. Competitive displacement assays showed the presence of a single saturable high-affinity binder for JH III in hemolymph from adult female C . capitata . 2. The dissociation constant K d and total binding capacity B max for the binder were 0.93 × 10 −7 M and 7.46 nmol/mg protein respectively. 3. The order of affinity of JH homologs and an analog for the hemolymph binder was JH III > JH II > JH I > (7S)methoprene. 4. Three benzyl-1,3-benzodioxole derivatives (BBDs), coded J2581, J2710, and J3263, were ineffective in blocking JH III binding to hemolymph components. 5. The relationship between BBDs, vitellogenesis, and hemolymph binders and a proposed mode of action of BBDs are discussed.
