摘要：
Current understanding of the molecular basis of olfactory perception has been greatly advanced in recent years by discoveries of transduction mechanisms, mechanisms for determining the effectiveness of chemical stimuli and the molecular mechanisms for the transport of odorants through the nasal mucus to the receptor sites on the olfactory cell membranes. This new knowledge lays the foundation for a wide-ranging technology based on olfactory macromolecules for the benefit of the food and other industries, and raises the prospect, within 5-10 years, of a complete explanation of the stimulus properties of odorants and how and why humans experience them.
