Abstract
Odorant-binding proteins are small water-soluble proteins that have been detected in the perireceptor compartment of olfactory receptor cells of vertebrates and insects [1,2]. Although their definite physiological role in olfaction is still unclear, similar functions have been proposed in stimulus transport or inactivation [1–6].
