Pattern-Based Discrimination of Enantiomeric and Structurally Similar Amino Acids:An Optical Mimic of the Mammalian Taste Response

摘要

The senses of taste and smell serve to detect myriad discreet and highly diverse chemical structures.Across the animal kingdom,the challenges inherent to chemical sensing are addressed by distinctly different mechanisms than those used to perceive continuously variable stimuli,such as electromagnetic wavelength or acoustic frequency.
