The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) play an important role in physiological and cellular responses. Bitter tasting chemicals and microbial metabolites can bind to T2R14, which enables interactions between T2R14 and specific intracellular domains of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel.

Odor-Specific Deactivation Defects in a Drosophila Odorant-Binding Protein Mutant
Genetics, 2019 Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are a large, diverse group of low-molecular weight proteins secreted into the fluid bathing olfactory and gustatory neuron dendrites. The best-characterized OBP, LUSH (OBP76a) enhances pheromone sensitivity enabling

Molecular recognition of an odorant by the murine trace amine-associated receptor TAAR7f
Nature CommunicationsThere are two main families of G protein-coupled receptors that detect odours in humans, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs).

Molecular characteristics of odorant-binding protein 1 in Anopheles maculipennis
Malaria Journal, 2020 Background Anopheles maculipennis complex, the historic vector of malaria, causes serious medical problems worldwide and exhibits different behaviours. Studying the odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), which influence the chemosensory system and behavioural ...

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.This review surveys eukaryotic cilia as putative quantum‐enabled sensory and regulatory centers. It highlights their multifaceted roles in the cell, focuses on the nontrivial roles of quantum mechanics in their membrane and cytoskeletal proteins, and introduces the essential building blocks enabling quantum properties to survive in the warm, wet, and ...

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2020 Insect resistance to insecticides is an increasingly serious problem, and the resistant mechanisms are complicated. The resistance research based on the chemosensory pathway is one of the hot problems at present, but the specific binding mechanism of ...

The porcine odorant-binding protein as molecular probe for benzene detection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In recent years, air pollution has been a subject of great scientific and public interests for the strong impact on human health. Air pollution is due to the presence in the atmosphere of polluting substances, such as carbon monoxide, sulfur and nitrogen

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.The essential oil and major compounds from Piper cyrtopodon exhibit potent, long‐lasting repellent activity against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, combined with low cytotoxicity and favorable molecular docking interactions with odorant‐binding proteins. These findings highlight its potential for the development of alternative products for bite prevention ...

Wake Up and Smell the Infected Bees: Volatile Cues of Vairimorpha Infection in Honey Bees
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Infection can modify host volatile emissions, yet effects in adult honey bees remain unexplored. Using dynamic headspace sampling and GC × GC–MS, we show that Vairimorpha spp. infection significantly alters the volatile profile of adult worker honey bees over a 14‐day time series, producing stage‐specific shifts in multivariate odour structure.
