The Structural Properties of Odorants Modulate Their Association to Human Odorant Binding Protein [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2021 The binding of known odorant molecules to the human odorant-binding protein (hOBP) was evaluated in silico. Docking experiments elucidate the preferable binding site and binding affinity of odorant molecules to hOBP.

Evolution of the odorant-binding protein gene family in Drosophila
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are encoded by a gene family involved in the perception of olfactory signals in insects. This chemosensory gene family has been advocated as a candidate to mediate host preference and host shifts in insects, although it ...
