  PDF, Abstract: Selectivity of olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) is compared with that of its receptor proteins (R) with fluctuations of odor binding-releasing process taken into account. The binding-releasing process is modeled as N Bernoulli trials, where N is the total number of R per ORN. Dimensionless selectivities for both R and ORN are introduced and compared with each other. It is found the ORN's selectivity can be much higher then that of its receptor proteins. This effect is concentration-dependent. Possible application for biosensors is discussed.
