註釋Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and olfactory receptors (ORs) belong to the main molecular protagonists of the perception of smell. With the use of state-of-the-art molecular modeling tools, deciphering the nature of both OBP/odorants and OR/odorant interactions is at hand. With the use of molecular dynamics simulations, we provide some clues to identify the residues responsible for the affinity of OBPs and ORs for various odorants. The affinity prediction is compared with biophysical experiments when available.
