🧬 Scientists are using cryo-electron #microscopy to visualize how scent #molecules bind to receptors in the nose.The structural details help explain how the #brain distinguishes between thousands of different odors based on molecular shape and #chemistry. The findings provide a clearer understanding of the biological process that allows us to experience the world through smell. https://www.chemistryworld.com/features/the-molecular-mystery-of-how-we-smell/4023405.article#biology #science #research #education #nature
