Personal receptor repertoires: olfaction as a model

Sebastian Martin Waszak

Background: Information on nucleotide diversity along completely sequenced human genomes has increased tremendously over the last few years. This makes it possible to reassess the diversity status of distinct receptor proteins in different human individual ...

Multivariate Spectral Analysis for Identifying the Brain Activations During Olfactory Perception

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Ashkan Yazdani, Eleni Kroupi

Olfactory perception is a complex phenomenon associated with other processes such as cognition and emotion. Due to this complexity, there are still open issues and challenges regarding olfactory psychophysiology. One challenge concerns the investigation of ...

A Generalized Mathematical Model To Estimate T- and B-Cell Receptor Diversities Using AmpliCot

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Irina Baltcheva

The efficiency of the adaptive immune system is dependent on the diversity of T- and B-cell receptors, which is created by random rearrangement of receptor gene segments. AmpliCot is an experimental technique that allows the measurement of the diversity of ...

Transmembrane Signaling Analysis in Model Membrane Systems

Luigino Grasso

Studying the complex mechanisms of transducing an extracellular signal across a plasma membrane to initiate an intracellular responce is of fundamental importance for a cell’s function. Transmembrane signaling is the key allowing cells to sense and communi ...

The Mouse Eugenol Odorant Receptor: Structural and Functional Plasticity of a Broadly Tuned Odorant Binding Pocket

Horst Arthur Vogel, Horst Pick, Olivia Baud, Sylvain Etter

Molecular interactions of odorants with their olfactory receptors (ORs) are of central importance for the ability of the mammalian olfactory system to detect and discriminate a vast variety of odors with a limited set of receptors. How a particular OR bind ...

Recombinant expression and functional characterization of the mouse olfactory receptor mOR256-17 in mammalian cells

Horst Arthur Vogel, Horst Pick, Luigino Grasso, Thamani Dahoun

Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of sensory membrane proteins in mammals. They play a key role within the olfactory system in recognizing and discriminating a nearly unlimited number of structurally diverse odorous molecules. The mol ...
