| Research Abstract |
Olfaction starts at the olfactory sensory cilia which have nano-scale structure. In the olfactory transduction cascade, it is an important because Ca can cause olfactory adaptation and non-linear signal amplification. In this project, we solve the problem that had been left conventionally by monitoring the molecular dynamics.
