The encapsulation of odorants by the synthetic receptor cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) reduces the response of olfactory receptors in Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) in vivo. For example, the olfactory receptor response to the odorant adamantan-1-amine, as measured by electro-olfactography, was suppressed by 92% in the presence of CB[7]. A reduction in olfactory response of 88% was observed for pentane-1,5-diamine (cadaverine), an odorant associated with carrion avoidance in some fish. The results reveal how the association constants and the concentrations of natural and synthetic receptors play a determinant role and show that synthetic receptors can be used to remove bioactive molecules from fish olfaction.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 November 2016.
All research outputs
#10,155,100
of 34,089,221 outputs
Outputs from ACS Chemical Biology
#1,922
of 3,990 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#80,432
of 271,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ACS Chemical Biology
#33
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,089,221 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,990 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 271,900 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
