Product Information

• Name: 4-Methyl-5-nonanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methyl-5-nonanone is a chiral molecule that binds to odorant binding proteins. It has been shown to be an effective pheromone for monitoring the population of weevils in the field. 4-Methyl-5-nonanone has been shown to have a stereoselective effect on weevils, which may be due to its ability to bind more tightly with odorant binding proteins containing a particular chirality. This activity can be exploited by using this molecule as a lure or bait for trapping weevils.
