Please update with: "The structural basis of odorant recognition in insect olfactory receptors"
[edit]I 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).
