Article Synopsis
- Helicobacter pylori infects around 80% of people in Asia and is a leading cause of peptic ulcers, often presenting asymptomatically, with certain virulence factors increasing the risk of gastric cancer.
- This study investigates how eight algal peptides can interact with H. pylori's virulence factors (CagA, VacA, and HtrA) to inhibit their growth using in silico analysis.
- Results indicate that a peptide from the green alga Tetradesmus sp. effectively targets all three virulence factors, demonstrating strong binding energy, which could pave the way for new treatments against H. pylori infections and associated complications.
