4 important questions on Taste perception - Sweet and umami receptors
In which aspect do sweet and umami receptors resemble the bitter taste receptors?
In which 2 aspects do sweet and umami receptors differ from bitter receptors?
- The actual receptors are heterodimeric protein assemblies (i.e. A pair of two non-identical proteins)
- All T1R receptor proteins consist of two domains:
- the 7-helix trans-membrane domain
- Venus FlyTrap Domain (VFTD)
How is the umami receptor formed?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Why is detection of sweetness or umami more complicated than detection of bitterness?
