Significance While natural musk has been used for 2,000 years in perfumery, and in traditional medicine for its cardioprotective… Expand

Predicting the activity of chemicals for a given odorant receptor is a longstanding challenge. Here the activity of 258 chemicals… Expand

Key food odorants are the most relevant determinants by which we detect, recognize, and hedonically evaluate the aroma of foods… Expand

Olfactory receptors (ORs) play a crucial role in detecting the odorant molecules present in the surrounding environment. These… Expand

The vast number of detectable odors makes matching olfactory receptors (ORs) to their ligands a daunting task. Krautwurst and… Expand

Chirality is a common phenomenon within odorants. Most pairs of enantiomers show only moderate differences in odor quality. One… Expand

In this paper, computational means were used to explain and predict the interaction of several odorant molecules, including three… Expand

Olfactory receptors (ORs) comprise the largest G protein-coupled receptor gene superfamily. Recent studies indicate that ORs are… Expand

An interaction of odorants with olfactory receptors is thought to be the initial step in odorant detection. However, ligands have… Expand

To test the hypothesis that olfactory receptors (ORs) recognize different molecular features of odor molecules termed "odotypes… Expand
