General description

2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, a potent bell-pepper odourant, has been found to bind to cow olfactory mucosa homogenate.

Application

2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine has been employed as a model odorant molecule during an electrochemical assay for the detection of odorant molecules based on a rat odorant-binding protein (rOBP3).

We developed an electrochemical assay for the detection of odorant molecules based on a rat odorant-binding protein (rOBP3). We demonstrated that rOBP3 cavity binds 2-methyl-1,4-naphtoquinone (MNQ), an electrochemical probe, as depicted from the decrease of its electrochemical signal, and deduced

2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, a potent bell-pepper odorant, binds to cow olfactory mucosa homogenate. The receptor is saturable in the micromolar range and is competitively inhibited by other bell-pepper odourants, but not by other pyrazines of different odours. Other tissues do not bind

The effects of hydrostatic pressure on the structure and stability of porcine odorant-binding protein (pOBP) in the presence and absence of the odorant molecule 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) were studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy as well as by molecular dynamics

A study of organic compounds which caused several odor problems in water supplies from NW Spain was carried out. Sour dish-cloths, potato bin and musty were the main descriptors associated with these events. Closed loop stripping analysis combined with sensory-GC

In the present study we examine the enthalpy of binding of 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (IBMP) to the mouse major urinary protein (MUP), using a combination of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), NMR, X-ray crystallography, all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, and site-directed mutagenesis.
