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

Functional analysis of general odorant binding protein 2 from the meadow moth, Loxostege sticticalis L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Odorant binding proteins play a crucial role in transporting semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to olfactory receptors within the insect antennal sensilla.

BMC Bioinformatics, 2007 Background Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are believed to shuttle odorants from the environment to the underlying odorant receptors, for which they could potentially serve as odorant presenters.

Enantiomeric Discrimination in Insects: The Role of OBPs and ORs
Insects, 2022 Olfaction is a complex recognition process that is critical for chemical communication in insects. Though some insect species are capable of discrimination between compounds that are structurally similar, little is understood about how this high level of
