1. The binding affinities of three classes of homologous proteins, alpha 2u protein from rat
urine, major urinary protein of mouse and pyrazine-binding protein of calf nasal mucosa
have been determined for a panel of ligands. 2. Best ligands were low threshold odorants for
man, but chemically unrelated. 3. The binding spectra of the homologous proteins were
different.
