- RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT
Hydrogen bonds between sugar and nearby molecules help to determine the level of sweetness.
Sugars are thought to owe their sweet taste to the particular pattern of bonds that atoms in sugar molecules form with receptor proteins in taste buds. But most types of sugar have a similar arrangement of atoms, so why some taste sweeter than others has proved puzzling.
