Jun 23, 2018 - An odorant space is proposed based entirely on similarities in molecular structure (without descriptors). This space is shown to be effective for predicting odor descriptors of a target molecule based only on which molecules neighbor it in the space.

Jun 23, 2018 - How can mixtures produce patterns of activation that are as sparse as pure odorants? The authors show that if the strength of activation of ORNs by ligands (given binding) is independent of the binding affinity of the same ligands, i.e. if some mixture components are competitive a...
