    Abstract

    Recombinant Bombyx mori pheromone-binding protein (PBP), purified from an Escherichia coli expression system, has been found to contain (11Z)-octadecenoic acid (cis-vaccenic acid) as an artefact ligand. An efficient delipidation procedure is described to overcome what would appear to be a general problem with recombinant lepidopteran PBPs.
