Bioactive Peptides: A Review

Bioactive peptides have been defined as specific protein fragments that have a positive impact on body functions and conditions and may ultimately influence health [79]. According to Fitzgerald & Murray [46], bioactive peptides have been defined as peptides with hormoneor drug like activity that eventually modulate physiological function through binding interactions to specific receptors on tar...

Optimization, Partial Purification, and Characterization of Bioactive Peptides of Lactobacillus paracasei Isolated from Traditional Egyptian Cheese

Background: Bacteriocins are small peptides which are ribosomally synthesized and have been shown to have wide range of antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was to optimize the production of L. paracasei MG847589 bacteriocin. Furthermore, the potential antibacterial properties of the novel bacteriocins were characterized and evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: The presen...
