A brief review presents current data on the possibilities of predicting course cardiovascular and other diseases, as well results surgical treatment in patients by assessing concentration atrial, brain natriuretic peptides, polymorphic gene variants these peptides their receptors. Significant prospects for further research this direction have been identified order to develop prognostic molecula...

Oyster (Crassostrea gigas), the main ingredient of oyster sauce, has a strong umami taste. In this study, three potential peptides, FLNQDEEAR (FR-9), FNKEE (FE-5), and EEFLK (EK-5), were identified screened from alcoholic extracts gigas) using nano-HPLC-MS/MS analysis, iUmami-Scoring Card Method (iUmami-SCM) database molecular docking (MD). Sensory evaluation electronic tongue analys...

Abstract Plant genomes encode hundreds of receptor kinases and peptides, but the number known plant receptor-ligand pairs is limited. We report that Arabidopsis leucine-rich repeat kinase LRR-RK MALE DISCOVERER 1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR LIKE KINASE 2 (MIK2) for SERINE RICH ENDOGENOUS PEPTIDE (SCOOP) phytocytokines. MIK2 necessary sufficient immune responses triggered by multiple SCOOP suggesting t...

The bioactivity of canary seed peptides (CSP) towards metabolism-regulating enzymes was evaluated. Peptides with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), and pancreatic lipase activity remained stable (p < 0.05) to simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGD). CSP-SGD were transported efficiently (>10%) through the Caco-2 monolayer, indicating absorption intestinal e...

abstract background antibiotic resistance makes antimicrobial peptides (amps) agents an alternative for treatment of pathogenic diseases. they are isolated from various animals invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. the present study shows the electrophoretic pattern of protein and peptides from vicia faba seed and reports our first attempt to study the antibacterial activity of vicia faba seed...

Subcellular localization is important for proteins to function. For the prediction of subcellular localizations, we have developed a method, SortPred, using the amino acid composition and order. The composition represents the global features, e.g., the amino acid composition in the full or partial sequences, while the order represents the local features, e.g., the amino acid sequence order. The...

Peptides can recognize and selectively bind to a wide variety of materials dependent on both their surface properties the environment. Biopanning with phage or cell peptide display libraries identify material-specific binding peptides. However, limitations sequence diversity traditional bacteriophage (phage) loss unique clones during amplification cycles results in smaller pool sequences identi...

Microenvironmental factors may influence the antioxidant efficacy of food-derived peptides. This study evaluated in vitro properties peptides released during ripening (9 to 24 months processing) Spanish dry-cured ham (Biceps femoris muscle) assisted by spectral-chromatographic methodologies. Results indicated that 2,2?-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical-cation (ABTS?+) qu...

Modulation of the immune system through nutrition is aim many studies. As induction a rapid onset immunity in cats often critical, objective this study was to evaluate effects orally administered dietary nucleotides and cationic peptides, on vaccination response cats. The were allocated two groups: Group A (n = 8) fed diet with peptides for ninety-two days, C without peptides. vaccinated agains...
