Aspartame

Construct a molecule structure model of the artificial sweetener Aspartame (Equal) out of Genuine Molymod Components by Indigo

What is Aspartame?

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener made from two naturally occurring amino acids, phenylalanine & aspartic acid. To some, it has the most natural taste of all the sweeteners. Medical evidence suggests it is safe for most people except those with a rare genetic disease called phenylketonuria.

A molecular model of Aspartame in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
