AoraGOBP2 strongly binds to primary sex pheromones while AoraGOBP1 shows higher affinity for host plant volatiles.
Fluorescence assays revealed AoraGOBP1 and AoraGOBP2 have unique expression profiles in female adults at different mating statuses.
Molecular docking simulations indicated that van der Waals interactions are crucial for binding free energy in AoraGOBP interactions.
Understanding these mechanisms enhances chemical ecology strategies for pest control in leafroller populations.
