- Claim:
1. A method comprising the step of: use a sequence chosen among Seq ID No 3, Seq ID No 1, Seq ID No 2, Seq ID No 4, Seq ID No 5, Seq ID No 6, Seq ID No 7, Seq ID No 8, and functional variants thereof, as an odorant binding protein (OBP).
- Claim:
2. A method of identifying ligands, comprising at least the steps of: (i) exposing at least one candidate compound to an OBP as defined in claim 1; (ii) detecting whether the candidate compound binds to said OBP; and (iii) if the candidate compound binds to said OBP then the compound is identified as being a ligand to said OBP.
- Claim:
3. The method according to claim 2, comprising at least the following step before said step (i): Providing at least one sequence selected in the group consisting of Seq ID No 3, Seq ID No 1, Seq ID No 2, Seq ID No 4, Seq ID No 5, Seq ID No 6, Seq ID No 7, Seq ID No 8, and functional variants thereof, wherein said sequence is used as the OBP in step (i).
- Claim:
4. A method of detecting the presence of an odorant compound in a composition, comprising at least the steps of: (i) exposing said composition to an OBP as defined in claim 1; (ii) detecting whether said OBP binds the odorant compound; and (iii) if the OBP binds the odorant compound, then concluding that the odorant compound is present in said composition.
- Claim:
5. A kit comprising, in one or more containers in a single package: (i) the OBP as defined in claim 1, and (ii) one or more candidate compounds.
