Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2009 In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Biotechnological applications of mammalian odorant-binding proteins [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2021 The olfactory system of mammals allows the detection and discrimination of thousands of odors from the environment. In mammals, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are considered responsible to carry odorant molecules across the aqueous nasal mucus to the olfactory receptors (ORs).

Organization and function of Drosophila odorant binding proteins
eLife, 2016 Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are remarkable in their number, diversity, and abundance, yet their role in olfactory coding remains unclear. They are widely believed to be required for transporting hydrophobic odorants through an aqueous lymph to ...

Grafting odorant binding proteins on diamond bio-MEMS [PDF]
Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2014 Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble proteins found in olfactory systems that are capable of binding several types of odorant molecules. Cantilevers based on polycrystalline diamond surfaces are very promising as chemical transducers.

Odorant-Binding Proteins as Sensing Elements for Odour Monitoring
Sensors, 2018 Odour perception has been the object of fast growing research interest in the last three decades. Parallel to the study of the corresponding biological systems, attempts are being made to model the olfactory system with electronic devices.

The whole body transcriptome of Coleophora obducta reveals important olfactory proteins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background The tiny casebearer moth Coleophora obducta, an important defoliator of Larix spp., is a major threat to ecological security in north China. Studies have shown that C. obducta is strongly specific to host plants; it is unable complete its life

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 ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Representational drift is a phenomenon of increasing interest in the cognitive and neural sciences. While investigations are ongoing for other sensory cortices, recent research has demonstrated the pervasiveness in which it occurs in the piriform cortex for olfaction.
