… Here we report the structural basis for ligand specificity of an OR (MOR42-3) by combining
… ligand docking studies. MOR42-3 is closely related to MOR42-1, and both of these receptors …

… the odorant specificities of individual odorant receptors. These … family and by the poor
functional expression of these receptors … used to investigate odorant receptor–ligand interactions. …

… examined the ligand specificity of mOR-EG. We found that this receptor recognizes 22 odorants
that … We then attempted to elucidate the odorant-binding environment in mOR-EG and to …

… importance of specific binding pocket sites as determinants of ligand selectivity. From this
analysis, we propose a general model of ligand recognition for amino acid odorant receptors. …

… Ligand specificity of olfactory receptors … Instead of dedicating an individual odor receptor
to a specific odor, the olfactory system uses an "alphabet" of receptors to create a specific odor …

… For the case of OBPs, the ligand specificity and mechanisms … used for the measurement of
ligand affinity. For instance, it … could enhance specificity and sensitivity of odorant reception. …
