Background The biological activities of food-derived bioactive peptides (BAPs) depend on
their specific structural properties. BAP structures may be altered in the gastrointestinal tract …

Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV/CD26 (DPP IV) is a cell-surface protease belonging to the
prolyloligopeptidase family. It selectively removes the N-terminal dipeptide from peptides …

Organic molecules as well as metal complexes may exist as several geometric isomers1
which display distinct physical properties and chemical reactivities. A molecule containing …

Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP IV/CD26) has a dual function as a regulatory protease and as
a binding protein. Its role in the inactivation of bioactive peptides was recognized 20 years …

Fluorinated analogues of the canonical α-L-amino acids have gained widespread attention
as building blocks that may endow peptides and proteins with advantageous biophysical …

The disease mechanisms of complex inflammatory disorders are difficult to define because
of extensive interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Coeliac disease is a …

Background: The digestive hydrolysis of dietary proteins leads to the release of peptides in
the intestinal tract, where they may exert a variety of functions, but their characterization and …

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a significant health problem worldwide. Bioactive
peptides that inhibit angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) in the cardiovascular system …

We performed a genome-wide association study of 6447 bipolar disorder (BD) cases and 12
639 controls from the International Cohort Collection for Bipolar Disorder (ICCBD). Meta …

Much research has been carried out on casein-derived bioactive peptides that are encrypted
within the primary structures of intact casein. Casein peptides are not active within the parent …
