Please update with: "The structural basis of odorant recognition in insect olfactory receptors"
editI think it would be good to add some short info about this study's findings to the article. It's currently featured in 2021 in science like so:
Scientists describe the molecular mechanisms by which insect olfactory systems are sensitive enough to recognize and discriminate a vast number of molecules with very few smell receptors.[1][2]
Maybe it's warranted to also update Sense of smell#In insects using the study. While its significance may partly stem from relevance to machine olfaction it probably wouldn't be adequate to add info on it there (but maybe about a follow-up study).
