Protein coding sequences/Biosynthesis/Odorants
< Back to Biosynthesis Protein coding sequences
Odorants are volatile compounds that have an aroma detectable by the olfactory system. Odorant enzymes convert a substrate to an odorant product. Recently, the DNA sequences for several odorant enzymes have been obtained.
