Receptor Dock Score Affinity A100 Correlated Perceptual Qualities
OR51E1 21.8494 28.7532 51.6854 cheesy, sweaty, sour, acidic
OR51E2 15.6366 30.8618 49.4126 vinegar, sour, sharp, radish

Dock Score: This is a measure of whether the algorithm thinks the odorant is an agonist of the receptor.
Affinity: The binding affinity, in kJ/mol, of the ligand docked in the active or inactive model, whichever is greater.
A100: A measure of the degree of activation of the receptor. See Ibrahim et al (2019).
