Biofunctional Peptide Hydrogel: Self-Assembly, Rheological Properties, and In Vivo Antioxidant Activity of Ovalbumin-Derived Peptide (VLVNAIVFKGL).

Ovalbumin-derived peptide, VLVNAIVFKGL, demonstrated self-assembling and gelation properties. However, the extent of self-assembly via solvent-switching and the bioactive potential of the ordered peptide aggregates is unknown. In silico analysis using AGGRESCAN, TANGO, ANuPP, and GAP predicted a high propensity to self-assemble into amyloid-like aggregates.

Regulation of redox enzymes by nutraceuticals: a review of the roles of antioxidant polyphenols and peptides.

Redox enzymes are essential components of the cellular defence system against oxidative stress, which is a common factor in various diseases. Therefore, understanding the role of bioactive nutraceuticals in modulating the activity of these enzymes holds immense therapeutic potential. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the regulation of redox enzymes in cell and animal models by food-derived bioactive nutraceuticals, focusing on polyphenols and peptides.
