Milk Proteins as Precursors of Bioactive Peptides
Milk proteins, a source of bioactive peptides, are the subject of numerous research studies aiming to, among others, evaluate their properties as precursors of biologically active peptides. Physiologically active peptides released from their precursors may interact with selected receptors and affect the overall condition and health of humans. By relying on the BIOPEP database of proteins and bi...
متن کاملCellular Disulfide Bond Formation in Bioactive Peptides and Proteins
Bioactive peptides play important roles in metabolic regulation and modulation and many are used as therapeutics. These peptides often possess disulfide bonds, which are important for their structure, function and stability. A systematic network of enzymes--a disulfide bond generating enzyme, a disulfide bond donor enzyme and a redox cofactor--that function inside the cell dictates the formatio...
متن کاملBioactive vegetable proteins and peptides in lipid-lowering; nutraceutical potential.
As the last century saw a decline in the burden of nutritional deficiency and infectious disease, the global burden of chronic disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD) in particular, is increasing. CVD is the leading cause of death in the developed countries. Significant research efforts on the prevention and treatment of this disease have identified elevated plasma cholesterol as a primary risk f...
متن کاملBioactive Peptides
The increased consumer awareness of the health promoting effects of functional foods and nutraceuticals is the driving force of the functional food and nutraceutical market. Bioactive peptides are known for their high tissue affinity, specificity and efficiency in promoting health. For this reason, the search for food-derived bioactive peptides has increased exponentially. Over the years, many ...
متن کاملMarine Fish-derived Bioactive Peptides and Proteins for Human Therapeutics
In recent years, much attention has been paid to the existence of peptides with biological activities and proteins derived from foods that might have beneficial effects for humans. Fishes are rich sources of structurally diverse bioactive compounds. The importance of fish as a source of novel bioactive substances is growing rapidly. Marine fish is a major source of high-quality peptides, protei...
