The diverse small proteins called odorant-binding proteins [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 The term ‘odorant-binding proteins (Obps)’ is used to refer to a large family of insect proteins that are exceptional in their number, abundance and diversity. The name derives from the expression of many family members in the olfactory system of insects

Biological Roles of Lipocalins in Chemical Communication, Reproduction, and Regulation of Microbiota
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Major evolutionary transitions were always accompanied by genetic remodelling of phenotypic traits. For example, the vertebrate transition from water to land was accompanied by rapid evolution of olfactory receptors and by the expansion of genes encoding

Proteome response of Tribolium castaneum larvae to Bacillus thuringiensis toxin producing strains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Susceptibility of Tribolium castaneum (Tc) larvae was determined against spore-crystal mixtures of five coleopteran specific and one lepidopteran specific Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxin producing strains and those containing the structurally unrelated ...

Operating mechanism and molecular dynamics of pheromone-binding protein ASP1 as influenced by pH. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Odorant binding protein (OBP) is a vital component of the olfactory sensation system. It performs the specific role of ferrying odorant molecules to odorant receptors.

Kinetics of Odorant Recognition with a Graphene-Based Olfactory Receptor Mimicry
Chemosensors, 2022 Malaria vector mosquito species rely on a handful of specific pheromones for mating; one of them, sulcatone (6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one), is also found in human exudation.

Odorant Binding and Conformational Changes of a Rat Odorant-binding Protein [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2004 Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are lipocalins secreted in the nasal mucus of vertebrates, which convey odorants to their neuronal receptors. We compared the binding properties of a recombinant rat OBP (OBP-1F) using a set of six odorants of various chemical structures.

How Far Does a Receptor Influence Vibrational Properties of an Odorant? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The biophysical mechanism of the sense of smell, or olfaction, is still highly debated. The mainstream explanation argues for a shape-based recognition of odorant molecules by olfactory receptors, while recent investigations suggest the primary olfactory
