Multiple human taste receptor sites: a molecular modeling approach.
Numerous experimental data on the human peripheral taste system suggest the existence of multiple low-affinity and low-specificity receptor sites which are responsible for the detection and the complete discrimination of a very large number of organic molecules. According to this hypothesis, a given molecule interacts with numerous taste receptors and vice versa. Statistical analysis of taste i...
متن کاملT1R3: A human calcium taste receptor
Many animals can detect the taste of calcium but it is unclear how or whether humans have this ability. We show here that calcium activates hTAS1R3-transfected HEK293 cells and that this response is attenuated by lactisole, an inhibitor of hT1R3. Moreover, trained volunteers report that lactisole reduces the calcium intensity of calcium lactate. Thus, humans can detect calcium by taste, T1R3 is...
متن کاملA Multiple-Modeling Approach to Hybrid Modeling
There are no hybrid systems, there are only hybrid models. Whether or not a change is modeled as a continuous or discontinuous one, depends on the purpose of the model. A proper treatment of hybrid models is, hence, a matter of multiple modeling and model abstraction and approximation. More specifically, a proper theory of hybrid models has to be a theory of temporal (or behavioral) abstraction...
متن کاملBitter Taste Receptor Polymorphisms and Human Aging
Several studies have shown that genetic factors account for 25% of the variation in human life span. On the basis of published molecular, genetic and epidemiological data, we hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms of taste receptors, which modulate food preferences but are also expressed in a number of organs and regulate food absorption processing and metabolism, could modulate the aging proc...
متن کاملSubunit and Plectin at Multiple Molecular Sites
Recent studies with patients suffering from epidermolysis bullosa simplex associated with muscular dystrophy and the targeted gene disruption in mice suggested that plectin, a versatile cytoskeletal linker and intermediate filament-binding protein, may play an essential role in hemidesmosome integrity and stabilization. To define plectin’s interactions with hemidesmosomal proteins on the molecu...
