Yet, despite more than 20 years of study, the sweet receptor’s precise architecture remained elusive, even as scientists ...

Our attraction to sugar has grown to an unhealthy level. The average person in the United States now consumes more than 100 ...

The crystal structure of ... Structures of the receptors in their multiple active conformations, stabilized with ligands, should ultimately elucidate the molecular mechanisms of receptor activation.

But what these receptors actually consisted of and how they worked remained obscured for most of the 20th Century. Cells in our body are constantly exposed to a variety of chemical signals ...
