A sweeter future: Using protein language models for exploring sweeter brazzein homologs

2023-02-20

Abstract excerpt

Reducing sugar intake lowers the risk of obesity and associated metabolic disorders. Currently, this is achieved using artificial non-nutritive sweeteners, where their safety is widely debated and their contributions in various diseases is controversial. Emerging research suggests that these sweeteners may even increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular problems, and some people experience gastrointestinal iss...
