Binding of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to mutants of odorant-binding protein: a first step towards biosensors for environmental monitoring.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 1 Apr 2008

Wei Yin, Brandazza Anna, Pelosi Paolo

Abstract excerpt

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are among the most threatening pollutants widely present in the environment. Simple and economic methods of continuous monitoring of these compounds in real time are not yet available, although becoming increasingly needed. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) present unique characteristics of thermal and chemical stability for building robust, reliable, and inexpensive biosensors for...
