Insights from the Molecular modeling, docking analysis of illicit drugs and Bomb Compounds with Honey Bee Odorant Binding Proteins (OBPs).

Analysis of honeybee PBPs is of interest in the development of Biosensor applications. We described the predicted binding of 19 such compounds with 43-honey bee OBPs using molecular modeling, docking and phylogenetic analysis. Therefore, training the honeybees using preferred compounds formulate the bees to identify the illicit drugs and bomb compounds. Consequently, high docking score produced complex such OBP16-N-Phenyl-2-Napthalamine (-12.25k/mol), 3BJH-Crack Cocaine (-11.75k/mol), OBP10-Methadone (- 11.71k/mol), 1TUJ-Dronobinal Cannabis (-11.66k/mol), OBP13-Plasticizer (-11.27k/mol) and OBP24-Ecstasy (-10.89 k/mol) can be used to identify the compounds using biosensor application. The chemical reaction of the compounds for olfactory sensory was analyzed using DFT (Density Functional Theory) studies. Some of these compounds show high binding OBPs across distant phylogeny.
