A new non-classical fold of varroa odorant-binding proteins reveals a wide open internal cavity

Abstract Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), as they occur in insects, form a distinct class of proteins that apparently has no closely related representatives in other animals. However, ticks, mites, spiders and millipedes contain genes encoding proteins with sequence similarity to insect OBPs. In thi...
