An odorant receptor for a key odor constituent of ambergris

Communications Biology
Ambergris, a substance derived from the digestive system of sperm whales, has been valued for centuries for its unique aromatic properties. However, historical accounts indicate that certain human populations, particularly in East Asia, utilized ambergris without regard for its odor quality.

Probing the optimal architecture and molecular mechanism of insect odorant receptor heteromeric channels

Communications Biology
Insects have a powerful olfactory system that is far more selective and sensitive than artificial detectors. Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are key components of the system, which are ligand-gated ion channels comprising a specific odorant-sensing OR and
