Cloning and characterisation of genes encoding molecular recognition proteins from insectsTools Liggins, Amanda (2001) Cloning and characterisation of genes encoding molecular recognition proteins from insects. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractOlfaction is one of the most important senses by which insects obtain information about their environment. In the early stages of olfactory perception in insects, odour molecules are carried across the sensillum lymph by small soluble Odorant Binding Proteins (OBPs). This is followed by activation of the appropriate olfactory receptor, resulting in an electrical impulse, and subsequent degradation of the initial signal.
