Chemosensory membrane proteins such as G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) drive flavor perception of food formulations. To achieve this, a detailed understanding of the structure and function of these membrane proteins is needed, which is often limited by the extraction and purification methods involved. The proposed nanodisc methodology helps overcome some of these existing challenges such as protein stability and solubilization along with their reconstitution from a native cell-membrane environment. Being well-established in structural biology procedures, nanodiscs offer this elegant solution by using, e.g., a membrane scaffold protein (MSP) or styrene-maleic acid (SMA) polymer, which interacts directly with the cell membrane during protein reconstitution. Such derived proteins retain their biophysical properties without compromising the membrane architecture. Here, we seek to show that these lipidic systems can be explored for insights with a focus on chemosensory membrane protein morphology and structure, conformational dynamics of protein-ligand interactions, and binding kinetics to answer pending questions in flavor research. Additionally, the compatibility of nanodiscs across varied (labeled or label-free) techniques offers significant leverage, which has been highlighted here.
