AgamOBP4-targeted drug repurposing identifies novel mosquito repellent scaffolds

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play central roles in insect chemoreception and represent attractive molecular targets for the discovery of novel behavior-modifying compounds. We report two crystal structures of Anopheles gambiae OBP4: one complexed with the fluorescent probe N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine and a second containing two indole molecules simultaneously bound within the ligand-binding…
