“…In particular, ACE appears to prefer substrates or competitive inhibitors containing hydrophobic (aromatic or branched side-chains) amino acid residues at each of the three C-terminal positions (Li, Le, Shi, & Shrestha, 2004). Also, Kawakami and Kayahara (1993) suggested that most of ACE inhibitory peptides that are released by proteolityc digestion contain Pro, Lys or aromatic amino acid residues, and these peptides are particularly stable because are not further degraded by intestinal peptidases (Balti, Nejar-Arroume, Bougatef, Guillochon, & Nasri, 2010).…”
