Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to help odorants, most of which are oil-soluble, disperse into the aqueous mucus layer of the olfactory epithelium. It is also postulated that OBPs might "deliver" odorants to the odor receptors themselves.
This task will be to use the models in the pdbs/OBPs/ directory to investigate whether OBPs have any screening or filtering effect on the absorption of odorants by odor receptors. Specific areas for investigation include:
The included PDBs are:
hOBP2A: Q9NY56, 4run.pdb
hOBP2B: Q9NPH6
