The sweetness-suppressing polypeptide gurmarin isolated from Gymnema sylvestre consists of 35 amino acid residues and contains three intramolecular disulfide bonds. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis showed that the hydrophobic side chains of Tyr-13, Tyr-14, Trp-28, and Trp-29 in gurmarin are orien
