Chemical Senses (eBook, ePUB)

Receptor Events and Transduction in Taste and Olfaction

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the initial biochemical and biophysical aspects of taste and olfaction. It is intended for a wide audience, both those already familiar with the chemical senses and those biochemists and neuro-biologists interested in gaining an appreciation of this rapidly expanding discipline.
