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 ...

Odorant Binding and Conformational Dynamics in the Odorant-binding Protein [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 In mammals, the olfactory epithelium secretes odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), which are lipocalins found freely dissolved in the mucus layer protecting the olfactory neurons. OBPs may act as passive transporters of predominantly hydrophobic odorant molecules across the aqueous mucus layer, or they may play a more active role in which the olfactory ...

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

New insights on repellent recognition by Anopheles gambiae odorant-binding protein 1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 It is generally recognized that insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) mediate the solubilisation and transport of hydrophobic odorant molecules and contribute to the sensitivity of the insect olfactory system.

Research Progress of Insect Odorant Receptors
Guangdong nongye kexue, 2022 For insects, olfaction is an important signal input source for their behavioral perception. There are many kinds of proteins involved in the process of odor recognition, and they play a leading role in regulating feeding, swarming, mating, oviposition ...

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.

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.

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.
