Aphid Odorant-Binding Protein 9 Is Narrowly Tuned to Linear Alcohols and Aldehydes of Sixteen Carbon Atoms
Aphid odorant-binding protein 9 is almost exclusively expressed in antennae and is well conserved between different aphid species. In order to investigate its function, we have expressed this protein and measured ligand-binding affinities to a number of common natural compounds. The best ligands are...
