201st ACS Meeting, New York, August 1991, Abstract CARB 3.
The current possibilities of interactive graphics display of the sucrose molecular geometry based on X-ray structural data, are to be presented, such es the MOLCAD program-computed contact surface, the electrostatic potential in a 16 color code ranging from violet to red, and, most relevant in terms of structure-sweetness relationships, its hydrophobicity potential profile on the contact surface. A tentative assessment of the computer-generated distribution of hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions on the surface of sucrose with reference to the ,,sweetness triangle" AH-B-X concept is attempted. Also presented will be the graphic displays for the contact surfaces and the hydrophobicity distributions for glucose, fructose, leucrose, and isomaltulose.
