Sweet Poison:An evaluation of aspartame peptide bond stability and novel analogu
| Division: | International | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | Vancouver, BC | | School: | David Thompson Secondary | | Abstract: | Aspartame is an artificial sweetener commonly found in food products. However, individuals afflicted by Phenylketonuria, a disorder characterized by a deficiency in the enzyme which metabolizes phenylalanine, cannot consume this sweetener. The purpose of this project is to design new artificial sweeteners for PKU patients without the health risks associated with aspartame using comprehensive enzymatic studies, nuclear magnetic resonance analysis and quantum chemical calculations. |
