Quotes

kethleendumarshas quotedlast year
none of us is an island and we all live out our lives surrounded by other humans.
Poli Vasilenahas quoted2 years ago
It’s called the lock and key model

Химическая система "замка и ключа": наши химические рецепторы воспринимают не всю молекулу вещества, а только определенный набор атомов, который остаётся одинаковым из одного вида молекул к другому

Poli Vasilenahas quoted2 years ago
multi-point attachment theory, developed by biologists at the University of Lyon in France. In this theory, the sweetness receptor on the tongue detects not one big structural region but up to eight, smaller and spaced-apart areas – it looks like a molecule doesn’t need to contain all eight regions to register as sweet. It’s not so much a lock and key model as a sack full of locks and a key ring crammed with tiny keys.

Некоторые сахорозаменители имеют в составе другие атомы и не подходят под наши "замки", однако мы все равно распознаем их как сладость. Возможно, у наши рецепторы воспринимают не только состав сахарозы, как сладость, но и другие более маленькие части молекул
