Abstract
A molecular sensor which is based on an electrochemical model of the molecular mechanism of ion transport associated with the initial steps in olfaction is described. The olfactory sensor is obtained by functional transfer of macromolecules from homogenates of the olfactory epithelium into artificial bimolecular membranes, monolayers, and multilayers. These studies are designed to provide the necessary basis for the development of practically chemosensitive electronic devices which provide both ultratrace sensitivity and selectivity for a defined range of organic molecules.<>
