Based on the findings in this report the next logical step would be to conduct a study regarding the binding between amino acids and the olfactory receptors in mammals. It would also be interesting to compare the olfactory sensitivity in fishes for L- and D- forms of cysteine and L- and D- forms of methionine with the vapor phase concentrations obtained from other species, in order to learn more about the intriguing olfactory perception capability that amino acids hold.
