Scientists have now deciphered the structure of the human receptor for sweet tastes, which deepens our understanding of how we taste things. These findings, which were reported in Cel l, could also ...

Sweetness is central to the appeal of citrus fruit, but the molecular story behind that flavor has long remained untold.

What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this mystery. Their experiments show that ribose binds more readily and ...

Stevia, a zero-calorie sugar substitute, combined with probiotics, yields a surprising and targeted cancer-killing effect.

Scripps scientists show that ribose may have been nature’s preferred sugar for building RNA, offering new insight into how life’s molecular foundations may have formed before biology began. Today, ...

In living organisms today, complex molecules like RNA and DNA are constructed with the help of enzymes. So how did these molecules form before life (and enzymes) existed? Why did some molecules end up ...
