Binding Specificity of Two PBPs in the Yellow Peach Moth Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenée)

Pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) play an important role in olfaction of insects by transporting sex pheromones across the sensillum lymph to odorant receptors. To obtain a better understanding of the molecular basis between PBPs and semiochemicals, we have cloned, expressed, and purified two PBPs (...
