Structure of an antennally-expressed carboxylesterase suggests lepidopteran odorant degrading enzymes are broadly tuned
Insects rely on the detection of chemical cues present in the environment to guide their foraging and reproductive behaviour. As such, insects have evolved a sophisticated chemical processing system in their antennae comprised of several types of olfactory proteins. Of these proteins, odorant degrad...
