to its −CHO group, determines whether an aliphatic aldehyde functions as an agonist, partialagonist or antagonist. Our experiments provide evidence that an odorant can manipulate an OR through its intrinsic conformational repertoire, in unexpected analogy to the photon‐controlled aldehyde manipulation observed in rhodopsin.
