“…Globally, Table 3 shows a predominance of hydrophobic (Ala, Val, Ile, Leu, Met, Phe, Pro, Gly) and aromatic (Phe, Trp, Tyr) residues (31.73% and 21.64%, respectively). Both classes of amino acid side chains can donate protons to electron-deficient radicals hence affect antioxidant activity (Silva et al, 2017); other side chains such as Met, Lys, Cys, and His have also been reported to enhance antioxidant activity (Ambigaipalan, Al-Khalifa, & Shahidi, 2015). Girgih et al (2014) indicated that the presence of hydrophobic amino acids affected antihypertensive activity positively.…”
