Abstract: | Summary Intensity/time plots of sweetness produced by different molecules allow putative accession efficiencies of these molecules and their affinities with the taste receptor to be calculated. Results suggest that affinities of the different molecules are in the same order as threshold concentrations and that a constant number of available receptors exist for a related family of structures near threshold concentrations. |
