TUNNELING IN SMELL. “Turin proposed a mechanism in which phonon-assisted inelastic tunnelling of an electron from a donor to an acceptor mediated by the odorant molecule gives a further level of selectivity to the process. A recent model proposed by Brookes expanded on this idea, and presented evidence that such a mechanism fits the observed features of smell.”
