Crystal Structure of Brazzein
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23519673
Function
[DEF_PENBA] Taste-modifying protein; sweet-tasting. It is 2000 sweeter than sucrose on a molar basis.[1] Has a pH-specific antimicrobial activity against bacteria (B.subtilis, E.coli and S.aureus) and the fungus C.albicans.[2]
About this Structure
