Sweet taste of heavy water

Sweet taste of heavy water

Ben Abu, Mason and colleagues use molecular dynamics, cell-based experiments, mouse models, and human subjects to determine that, unlike ordinary water, heavy water tastes sweet to humans, but not mice. Mechanistically, this effect is mediated by the human TAS1R/TAS1R3 sweet taste receptor.
