Edible insect as an alternative protein source: a review on the chemistry and functionalities of proteins under different processing methods

Heliyon, 2023
The consumption of edible insects can be anadvantageous alternative to the conventional food supply chain, which involves global water waste, land deficit, undernutrition, and starvation. Besides the nutritional aspects, insect proteins have demonstrated

The 40-Year Mystery of Insect Odorant-Binding Proteins

Biomolecules, 2021
The survival of insects depends on their ability to detect molecules present in their environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) form a family of proteins involved in chemoreception.

Soluble proteins in insect chemical communication

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2006
Our understanding of the biochemical mechanisms that mediate chemoreception in insects has been greatly improved after the discovery of olfactory and taste receptor proteins. However, the presence of soluble polypeptides in high concentration around the dendrites of sensory neurons still poses unanswered questions.

Potential conservation of circadian clock proteins in the phylum Nematoda as revealed by bioinformatic searches [PDF]

, 2014
Although several circadian rhythms have been described in C. elegans, its molecular clock remains elusive. In this work we employed a novel bioinformatic approach, applying probabilistic methodologies, to search for circadian clock proteins of several of
