Olfactory Receptors Methods and Protocols

Despite the best efforts of many and despite landmark discoveries and experimental ingenuity, challenges in the pursuit of research related to olfactory receptors (ORs) continue to exist.  In Olfactory Receptors: Methods and Protocols, experts in the field contribute chapters that serve to address t...
