The survival of insects depends on their ability to detect molecules present in their
environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) form a family of proteins involved in …

Biomimetic solid-state nanochannels enable new modalities for biosensing. In the last
decade, these nanofluidic architectures have been widely studied due to their rapid and …

Butterflies and moths differ significantly in their daily activities: butterflies are diurnal while
moths are largely nocturnal or crepuscular. This life history difference is presumably …

Apis mellifera (Amel) relies on its olfactory system to detect and identify new-sources of floral
food. The Odorant-Binding Proteins (OBPs) are the first proteins involved in odorant …

By mimicking biological olfaction, biosensors have been used for the detection of important
ligands in complex environments. An olfactory biosensor based on odorant-binding proteins …

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble proteins that are thought to transport
hydrophobic odorants across the aqueous sensillar lymph to olfactory receptors. A recent …

Anopheles gambiae (Agam) targets human and animals by using its olfactory system,
leading to the spread of Plasmodium falciparum, the malaria vector. Odorant binding …

We describe the fabrication and performance of a biosensor for odorants, using wildtype and
engineered mutants of the Italian honeybee (Apis mellifera ligustica) odorant binding protein …

Insects can sensitively and selectively detect thousands of semiochemicals at very low
concentrations by their remarkable olfactory systems. As one of the most important olfactory …

Insect resistance to insecticides is an increasingly serious problem, and the resistant
mechanisms are complicated. The resistance research based on the chemosensory …
