Subject: possible way to stop capsaicin bonding with VR1

     Capsaicin, the main chemical present in hot peppers that produces the 
burning sensation when eaten.  This molecule bonds with chemical receptors 
called vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (VR1)which in effect simulates a burning 
sensation.  The sensation is caused by positive charged cations being able to 
pass into the cell membrane which in turn sends neuron signals to the brain 
prducing a burning sensation.  I would like to find out if there would be a 
possible way to stop the capsaicin from bonding with the VR1 receptor.
