    • Concentration-dependent recruitment of mammalian odorant receptors 

      Hu, Xiaoyang Serene (2019)
      Deciphering natural odor plumes with dynamic changes in odor concentrations presents a common challenge to all animals. A fundamental challenge in studying the organization principles of the olfactory system to encode odor ...

    • Modulation and Ligand Selectivity of Mammalian Odorant Receptors 

      Jiang, Yue (2015)
      In mammals, the perception of smell starts with the activation of odorant receptors (ORs) by volatile molecules in the environment. Mammalian genomes typically encode large numbers of ORs, with approximately 400 intact ORs ...

    • Predicting Ligand Selectivity of Mammalian Odorant Receptors 

      Jiang, Yue (2015)
      The mammalian olfactory system uses a large family of odorant receptors to detect and discriminate amongst a myriad of volatile odor molecules. The odorant receptors are similar in protein sequence, but their ligand selectivities ...
