Natural peptides and proteins: potent tyrosinase inhibitors
Background and objectives: Tyrosinase is a copper containing oxidase which is crucial for controlling the production of melanin in creatures such as bacteria, fungi, plants and mammals. It is involved in the first two steps of melanin biosynthesis and leads to pigmentation and different types of cancer such as melanoma. Also, it is responsible for browning of fruits and vegetab...
متن کاملMicrosequenceanalysis of Biologically Active Proteins and Peptides
Despite impressive advances in techniques for sequence analysis of nucleic acids, direct sequencing of proteins will continue to be required in many areas of biological research. Traditional approaches are adequate, though still laborious,when carried out on micromole (106M) amounts of material. Recent advances employing radioisotopic and carrier methodology allow sequencing in the nanomole (l0...
متن کاملBiologically active peptides in milk proteins.
Bioactive peptides have been identified as digestion products of several food proteins. All the bioactive sequences are hidden in an inactive state inside the polypeptide chain of the larger protein. Milk proteins are a rich source of biologically active peptides such as exorphins (casomorphins), phosphopeptides and immunopeptides. Such peptides are released during intestinal digestion of casei...
متن کاملProteins as the Source of Physiologically and Functionally Active Peptides
The market of functional foods and beverages develops dynamically. Biological activities of many food components which occur naturally become an issue of many scientific and industrial interests. The structural and chemical changes occurring during the proteins processing lead to the release of bioactive peptides. Their multifunctional activity is based on their structure and other factors incl...
متن کاملHuman Antimicrobial Peptides and Proteins
As the key components of innate immunity, human host defense antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) play a critical role in warding off invading microbial pathogens. In addition, AMPs can possess other biological functions such as apoptosis, wound healing, and immune modulation. This article provides an overview on the identification, activity, 3D structure, and mechanism of action of human...
