<p class="my-content-p">According to the result analysis, all common, representative sweet substances can combine with human sweet receptor T1R2-T1R3. We find most sweeteners bind with receptor on Cysteine-Rich Domain(CRD).  It proves that our project has enormous potential to be used in a wide range of sweet material testing. And in the future, it can guide us to discover new sweeteners.</p>
 
−
<p class="my-content-p">At the same time, the number of different sweet materials’ combination demonstratives that the perception of sweet substances not only depends on the sweetness of the sweeteners, but also the concentration and the number of binding sites. In the future, it can provide the guidance for us to develop sweetness standard.</p>

<p class="my-content-p">But our model is not perfect, in the future we will use molecular dynamics modeling (molecular docking) and other means to modify the sweet receptor, and deformat the small molecular material appropriately through the Gaussian force field and other commonly mechanical system and software (Gauss view ) with a view to the docking results closer to the real situation.</p>

STRUCTURE MODEL

STRUCTURE MODEL

Purpose

In order to confirm whether this “radar” T1R2/T1R3 can “sense” the sweetness of different sweetener, we simulated the model of receptor's structure[1] [2]. It was helpful to observe how the sweeteners binding to T1R2/T1R3 receptor visually. Moreover, we expected to find some unknown sweeteners binding sites based on this model, even some ideal sweeteners are still unknown.

Methods

To make the signal input more accurate and reliable, we simulated the T1R2/T1R3 receptor's structure model through SWISS-MODEL. Meanwhile, according to Chemdraw 2D and Chemdraw 3D, we constructed some sweetners' model. And the docking process was performed by using Autodock Vina.

Results

We used homology modeling to obtain the structure of human sweet receptor T1R2/T1R3. According to the crystal protein structure of similar receptor in mice, we only simulated ligand-binding-domain of our receptor.

Fig. 3 The simulated structure of human sweetness receptors' ligand-binding domain (LBD)

Then, taking advantage of software Chemdraw 2D and Chemdraw 3D, we established some natural or artificial sweeteners' structure.

Fig. 4 Three dimensional structure of some sweeteners

Docking process was carried out under Autodock Vina (Fig. 5-7).

Discussion

Our docking results estimated that ligand-binding domain (LBD) of human T1R2/T1R3 receptors could bind with almost all kinds of known sweeteners. It provided evidence that this receptor has an ability to “taste” the sweetness. Meanwhile, our results also helped us to speculate that the number of both binding-site and binding-molecule also might influence the sense of sweetness.

However, our model still needs optimization. We plan to enhance the docking model and the more professional direct would be supplied by it.
