Exploring Molecular Odor Taxonomies for Structure-based Odor Predictions using Machine Learning
Akshay Sajan, Stijn Sluis, Reza Haydarlou +6
One of the key challenges to predict odor from molecular structure is unarguably our limited understanding of the odor space and the complexity of the underlying structure-odor rel…

Beyond Olfaction: New Insights into Human Odorant Binding Proteins
Mifen Chen, Soufyan Lakbir, Mihyeon Jeon +3
Until today, the exact function of mammalian odorant binding proteins (OBPs) remains a topic of debate. Although their main established function lacks direct evidence in human olfa…

Mimicking the Gas-Phase to Transport Odorants through the Nasal Mucus: Functional Insights into Odorant Binding Proteins
Massimiliano Paesani, Arthur G. Goetzee, Sanne Abeln +1
Mammalian odorant binding proteins (OBPs) have long been suggested to transport hydrophobic odorant molecules through the aqueous environment of the nasal mucus. While the function…
