Abstract excerpt
Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play key roles in transport odors to receptors and contribute to insect survival. The cooperative interaction of HoblOBP1 and HoblOBP2 in Holotrichia oblita Faldermann (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) could increase their binding capacity for ligands. In present study, molecular docking results showed that OBP1/OBP2 complex formed a large binding pocket and interacted with the...
