Olfactory and taste receptors are specialized proteins that bind to specific molecules, or ligands, in order to generate a neural or chemical response. These ligands can be chemical compounds in food or in the air that we breathe. In both cases, the receptors have specific shapes that allow them to bind to particular molecules.
