“…The sequence of ACE inhibitory peptides consists of hydrophobic (Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, Pro, Phe, Met, and Trp) and aliphatic (Ala, Gly, Ile, Leu, and Val) amino acids at their N-termini [3,22]. The three peptides, IVDR, WYK, and VASVI, were shown to have high ACE inhibitory activity, similar to peptides isolated from food proteins, such as Ala-Ser-Leu (IC 50 = 102.15 µM) from silkworm pupa, Arg-Val-Cys-Leu-Pro (IC 50 = 175 µM) from lizard fish, Phe-Gly-Als-Ser-Thr-Arg-Gly-Ala (IC 50 = 14.7 µM) from Alaska pollock frame, Ala-Leu-Gly-Pro-Gln-Phe-Tyr (IC 50 = 12 µM) from stone fish, and Ala-Asn-Ser-Glu-Val-Ala-Gln-Trp-Arg and Glu-Ala-Leu-Val-Ser-Gln-Leu-Thr-Arg (IC 50 = 89.58 and 91.48 µM, respectively) from Trichiurus lepturus myosin [3,4,23]. The results of this study reveal that the three peptides are small and are comprised of Ile, Trp, and Val at their N-terminus positions, which are attributes that may contribute to their ACE inhibitory activity.…”
