| Title | The Revolution in Insect Neuropeptides Illustrated by the Adipokinetic Hormone/Red Pigment-Concentrating Hormone Family of Peptides  | ||
| Abstract | The last decade has seen a surge in the knowledge on primary structures of insect neuro peptides. Particularly successful were isolations and sequence determinations of more than 30 members of the adipokinetic horm one/red pigment-concentrating hormone (A K H /R P C H) family of peptides. This brief overview describes the techniques used to obtain data on purifi cation and structure such as high performance liquid chromatography, Edman sequencing and mass spectrometry. M oreover, a short account on the precursors and on the multiple functions of the peptides of the A K H /R P C H family in various crustacean and insect species is given. | ||
