Elucidation of the molecular bases of sweet taste is very important not only for its intrinsic
biological significance but also for the design of new artificial sweeteners. Up to few years
ago design was complicated by the common belief that different classes of sweet
compounds, notably sweet proteins, might interact with different receptors altogether. The
recent identification and functional expression of the receptor for sweet taste have shown
that there is but one receptor, drastically changing our approach to the development of new …
