Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are regarded as
carriers of pheromones and odorants in insect chemoreception. These proteins are typically …

Detection of chemical signals both in insects and in vertebrates is mediated by soluble
proteins, highly concentrated in olfactory organs, which bind semiochemicals and activate …

Chemosensory-related gene (CRG) families have been studied extensively in insects, but
their evolutionary history across the Arthropoda had remained relatively unexplored. Here …

Influenza A remains a significant public health challenge because of the emergence of
antigenically shifted or highly virulent strains,,,,. Antiviral resistance to available drugs such …

In the animal kingdom, the relationship between individuals and the environment is often
modulated by chemical communication. In the olfaction of insects, small antennary proteins …

We have solved the high-resolution crystal structures of the Drosophila melanogaster
alcohol-binding protein LUSH in complex with a series of short-chain n-alcohols. LUSH is …

Odour and pheromone perception occurs through a complex series of events, many aspects
of which have been elucidated in the most recent years. The discovery of membrane-bound …

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 …

Abstract Introduction Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are a class of small molecular weight
soluble proteins that exist as expanded gene families in all insects, acting as ligand carriers …
