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

Abstract 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 a highly conserved odorant receptor...
