Scent Goes Digital: The Role of Insect Odorant Binding Proteins in Modern Technology
BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 1, January/February 2026.This review delves into bioinspired olfactory biosensors, focusing on insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as core elements of hybrid bionic platforms for volatile compound detection. Highlighting the development of the biological electronic nose (BE‐NOSE), it examines current prototypes, outlines advantages over conventional methods, and explores ...
