This research project is focused on the link between chemical structures of odorant molecules and their interactions with odorant receptors expressed in olfactory neurons. This basic research is of primary importance for building a physiologically-inspired “computational nose” that reproduces the function of the 400 types of odorant receptors involved in the perception of smells. Here, each odorant receptor is represented as a molecular system, reproduced atom per atom in a computational model. An optimal protocol has been built to predict the structure of these receptors using bioinformatics analyses of their sequences under the constraints of experimental data. Then, the relationship between the sequence and the activation mechanism of a ...
