In silico Assessment of Antihypertensive Potential of Sweet Proteins
The consumption of low-calorie artificial sweeteners by patients affected by diseases linked to sugar consumption may be associated with diverse side effects. Hence, sweet proteins derived majorly from under-utilized plants have been proposed as good replacements.

I am studying this interaction using a cocktail of genomics,... view full profile
