The egg-derived peptides Arg-Val-Pro-Ser-Leu (RVPSL) and Gln-Ile-Gly-Leu-Phe (QIGLF) display strong angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and they can be taken up by intestinal epithelial cells. The interaction of the egg-derived peptides RVPSL and QIGLF with the membrane remains unclear.

This research aimed to study the molecular interaction of ACE inhibitory tri-peptides ADF, FGR, and MIR with DPPC membrane during absorption process. The DPPC liposome was prepared and characterized, then used as a model membrane.

The objective of the present study was to identify fish roe-derived anti-AD peptides with activities against AChE, BChE, and BACE 1. Fish roe proteins were cleaved in silico by gastrointestinal proteases, and the released peptides were collected.
