Sandalwood is a highly valuable component in perfumery. The action mode of sandalwood odorant molecules remains to be addressed. In fact, olfactory receptors involved in their perception have not yet been identified. The interaction of a human olfactory receptor, hOR1G1, with sandalwood odorants has been investigated. By means of cellular...

Unraveling the activation mechanism of olfactory receptors. Towards the future of structure odor relationships. 14. Weurman flavour research symposium

Abstract Odorant receptors (ORs) expressed in mammalian olfactory sensory neurons are essential for the sense of smell. However, structure–function studies of many ORs are hampered by unsuccessful heterologous expression. To understand and eventually overcome this bottleneck, we performed heterologous expression and functional assays of over 80...
