Aggregation of the salivary proline-rich protein IB5 in the presence of the tannin EgCG.

TL;DR: In the mouth, proline-rich proteins (PRP), which are major components of stimulated saliva, interact with tannins contained in food, and in vitro interactions of the tannin epigallocatechin gallate (EgCG) are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saliva and Flavor Perception: Perspectives

TL;DR: The main trends and perspectives related to the current understanding of the relationships between saliva and flavor perception are reported, with a need to better understand the role of protein aggregates in flavor perception.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proline-rich salivary proteins have extended conformations.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the unusually extended conformations of these proteins in solution facilitate the capture of plant tannins in the oral cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Folding of a Salivary Intrinsically Disordered Protein upon Binding to Tannins

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that IB5 undergoes an unfolded to folded structural transition upon binding with EgCG, demonstrating conformational adaptability of intrinsically disordered proteins bound to their targets in complex mixtures.
