'''Pheromone binding proteins''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone_binding_protein (PBP)] are type of Odorant binding proteins [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odorant-binding_protein (OBP)] - soluble proteins mediating the early stages of volatiles detection in both insects and vertebrates<ref>DOI:10.3389/fphys.2014.00320</ref>. The volatiles (pheromones and other small hydrophobic molecules) are solubilized by the OBPs and activate the chemoreceptors.
As the most ancient sense in nature, smell and chemical communication play a major role in successful mating, host and selection and other essential behaviors.  
The detection of volatiles (often a small hydrophobic molecules) starts by  


Pheromone binding proteins are soluble proteins invovled in the early stages of pheromone detection.
As a model protein of this family we will further describe the well investigated Pheromone binding protein of the honey bee, ASP1.
As a model protein of this family we will further describe the well investigated Pheromone binding protein of the honey bee.


Chemical communication is crucial in social insects, where a complicated and delicate system of signals must be maintained in order to preserve the fragile equilibrium between the queen and the workers. 
== Pheromone-binding protein ASP1 ==
In the hive of the honey bee [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_mellifera ''Apis mellifera''] this equilibrium exists partially due to the extraction of blend of substances called queen mandibular pheromone [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_bee_pheromones#Queen_mandibular_pheromone (QMP)], by the queen. The three major component of the QMP blend are: 9-keto-2(E)-decenoic acid (9-ODA) and 9-hydroxy-2(E)-decenoic acid (9-HDA R-(−) or S-(+)).

== Interaction with the ligand 9-ODA==
One of the main components of the QMP <scene name='60/609542/9-oda/3'>9-ODA</scene>, is binding to the protein binding site along with a <scene name='60/609542/Glycerol/2'>glycerol molecule</scene>.The carboxyl end of 9-ODA points towards the solvent, and has no bonds with residues of the protein. The residues in the binding site are <scene name='60/609542/Binding_site/3'>hydrophobic</scene>, and the connection between 9-ODA and ASP1 involve hydrogen bonds.
