The molecular basis of thiol odorant sensitivity in the mammalian olfactory system

This thesis is an investigation into the potential mechanisms that could explain the olfactory sensitivity to thiol compounds ~ought to be conserved across mammalian species. Proteomics techniques were employed as unbiased tools to search for highly conserved proteins in olfactory cilia theoreticall...
