Neoculin is a sweet taste protein capable of modifying sour taste into sweet taste. Neoculin, along with other sweeteners, are received by the human sweet taste receptors T1R2 and T1R3. To date, there has been few studies regarding how neoculin interacts with the human sweet taste receptors in molec...
