Fish Sperm Subpopulations Detection, Separation, and Application: Current State and Trends

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Modern advances in sperm biology highlight the necessity of recognising intra‐ejaculate heterogeneity as a central concept for advancing both the fundamental understanding of fertilisation processes and the development of artificial reproduction techniques in fishes. ABSTRACT Sperm subpopulations represent a fundamental manifestation of intra‐ejaculate

Expressions of Olfactory Proteins in Locust Olfactory Organs and a Palp Odorant Receptor Involved in Plant Aldehydes Detection

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The main chemosensory organs of locusts consisted of the antennae and the mouthparts (maxillary and labial palps), which are suggested to perform different functions.

Characterization of odorant binding and chemosensory protein families in the kissing bug Triatoma infestans: comparative analysis among Heteroptera species.

BMC Genomics
Background Plasticity in sensory perception and tolerance to xenobiotics contributes to insects’ adaptive capacity and evolutionary success, by enabling them to cope with potentially toxic molecules from the environment or internal milieu.

A Highly Selective Biosensor Based on Peptide Directly Derived from the HarmOBP7 Aldehyde Binding Site

Sensors, 2019
This paper presents the results of research on determining the optimal length of a peptide chain to effectively bind octanal molecules. Peptides that map the aldehyde binding site in HarmOBP7 were immobilized on piezoelectric transducers.

Identification of musk compounds as inhibitors of the main SARS-CoV-2 protease by molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society
As new drug development is a long process, reuse of bioactives may be the answer to new epidemics; thus, screening existing bioactive compounds against a new SARS-CoV-2 infection is an important task.

Odorant receptors and odorant-binding proteins as insect pest control targets: a comparative analysis [PDF]

, 2018
Recently, two alternative targets in insect periphery nerve system have been explored for environmentally-friendly approaches in insect pest management, namely odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and odorant receptors (ORs).

Predicting olfactory receptor neuron responses from odorant structure [PDF]

, 2007
Background Olfactory receptors work at the interface between the chemical world of volatile molecules and the perception of scent in the brain. Their main purpose is to translate chemical space into information that can be processed by neural circuits ...

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioural response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Insects respond to the spatial and temporal dynamics of a pheromone plume, which implies not only a strong response to"odor on", but also to"odor off". This requires mechanisms geared toward a fast signal termination.

Is asparagine deamidation in the porcine odorant-binding protein related to the odour molecules binding?

, 2008
Odorant-binding proteins are biomolecules belonging to the lipocalin family. Among all the odorant-binding proteins, the porcine odorant-binding protein has been well characterized. This protein is a monomer that is characterized by the presence of the 2-
