✦ Synopsis

In Drosophila melanogaster, activation of prophenoloxidase with 2-propanol was analyzed. Prophenoloxidases A 1 and A 3 were activated within 1 sec after addition of 2-propanol. Activation of prophenoloxidase with 2-propanol is considered to be a reversible conformational change of the prophenoloxidase protein.

There are two structural forms of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in Drosophila melanogaster. Whether one or the other or both show in vitro (and probably in vivo) activity depends on the genotype of a sex-linked locus (Zw). In this article, the relative fittnesses of heterozygotes (with
