Molecular Dynamics Driven Design of pH-Stabilized Mutants of MNEI, a Sweet Protein.

MNEI is a single chain derivative of monellin, a plant protein that can interact with the human sweet taste receptor, being therefore perceived as sweet. This unusual physiological activity makes MNEI a potential template for the design of new sugar replacers for the food and beverage industry. Unfo...
