摘要
In a landmark paper, del Marmol et al. describe cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of an insect olfactory receptor (OR) ion channel, detailing the mechanism by which odorants can directly gate ion flow and providing insights into how this incredibly diverse family of receptors have evolved to support insects navigat-ing complex olfactory landscapes.
