Structural and Functional Difference of Pheromone Binding Proteins in Discriminating Chemicals in the Gypsy Moth, Lymantria Dispar

Structural and Functional Difference of Pheromone Binding Proteins in Discriminating Chemicals in the Gypsy Moth, Lymantria Dispar

<p>Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) of the gypsy moth,<i> Lymantria dispar</i> L., play an important role in olfaction. Here structures of PBPs were first built by Homology Modeling, and each model of PBPs had seven &#945;-helices and a large hydrophobic cavity including 25 re...
