How do we manage to remember smells despite the fact that each olfactory sensory neuron only survives for about 60 days and is then replaced by a new cell? Oct 24, 2007
For example, an olfactory sensory receptor neuron may respond to a hydrocarbon chain of a particular length or a specific functional group like an alcohol or aldehyde. This means that any given sensory neuron will respond to many different odors as long as they share a common feature. (Scientific American)

Other important functional groups include the carbonyl group, in which two hydrogen atoms are substituted for an oxygen atom attached to the carbon with a double bond. (Suite101.com)
A simple feedback resistor switch keeps latent HIV from awakening Dec 26, 2006
Other studies have shown that Tat is activated by the addition of an acetyl group--a functional group that is frequently added to (acetylation) or removed from (deacetylation) proteins to modify their properties--and that deacetylation inactivates Tat. Based on the known kinetics of both acetylation and deacetylation, the authors postulated that a resistor might exist in the Tat circuit. (EurekAlert!)
