Can the electronic nose — the e-nose — help us catch up?
-
Recently, computer scientists made an e-nose that can predict and mimic how an olfactory receptor will respond to a particular scent.
-
The e-nose predicted whether twelve odorant receptors from Drosophila would respond to 21 new odorants with roughly 75 percent accuracy.
-
The e-nose can monitor air quality; identify pathogens; monitor food ripeness or spoilage; monitor physiological conditions from breath analysis, for example; and detect biological or chemical weapons.
-
Instead of training the e-nose to recognize a set of scents, they tuned it to the receptive range of an actual olfactory receptor.
-
The e-nose involves attaching fluorescent compounds onto strands of DNA molecules, which then change color in the presence of certain substances.
