Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors

Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors

Abstract Background Bark beetles are major pests of conifer forests, and their behavior is primarily mediated via olfaction. Targeting the odorant receptors (ORs) may thus provide avenues towards improved pest control. Such an approach requires information on the function of ORs and their interactio...
