“…The neonicotinoids imidacloprid (98.6% technical, Bayer Crop-Science), clothianidin, dinotefuran, thiamethoxam, nitenpyram, thiacloprid, acetamiprid (99.4% Fluka, pestanal, analytical standard) and pymetrozine (98.4% Fluka, pestanal, analytical standard) were used for the metabolism assays and the incubation of the TvCYP6CM2 and TvCYP6CM3 were performed as described previously. 41,42 Briefly, 25 μM final concentration of insecticides was incubated with bacterial membranes containing 25 pmol recombinant P450 and 75 pmol b5, in 100 μl Tris-HCl buffer (0.2 M, pH 7.4) containing 0.25 mM MgCl 2. The incubation was performed in the presence or absence of NADPH generating system: 1 mM glucose-6-phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 0.1 mM NADP + (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 unit ml -1 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH, Sigma-Aldrich).…”
