T2R14 and T2R46 Bitter Taste Receptor Cryo-EM Maps and Models

Qiang Zhao published cryo-EM maps, half-maps, and structural models of the T2R14 and T2R46 bitter taste receptors on figshare. The dataset is 1.2 GB in size and was last updated on April 21, 2026. It is released under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Training protein structure prediction models based on cryo-EM maps.
• Analyzing ligand binding modes and receptor conformations based on the provided structural models.
• Benchmarking molecular docking algorithms against experimentally determined receptor structures.

Strengths

• Includes raw cryo-EM maps and half-maps, which are foundational for structural validation.
• Contains 3D structural models of two distinct bitter taste receptors (T2R14 and T2R46).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
