12. The key issue is whether the hopping rate with the odorant in place is significantly greater than that without it. The calculations show that it is which means that odour identification in this way seems theoretically possible.
13. But Horsfield stresses that thats different from a proof of Turins idea. So far things look plausible, but we need proper experimental verification. Were beginning to think about what experiments could be performed.
14. Meanwhile, Turin is pressing ahead with his hypothesis. At Flexitral we have been designing odorants exclusively on the basis of their computed vibrations, he says. Our success rate at odorant discovery is two orders of magnitude better than the competition. At the very least, he is putting his money where his nose is.
