Structural basis for perception of diverse chemical substances by T1r taste receptors

Structural basis for perception of diverse chemical substances by T1r taste receptors

Nutrients taste perception is mediated by T1r receptors that discriminate specific tastes among their wide diversity. Here the authors present crystal structures of the ligand-binding domains of the fish T1r2-T1r3 receptor, providing a structural framework for its ligand recognition.
