Stability & Cytotoxicity
Peptide stability
Literature report:

Stability study revealed that the purified peptide showed resistance against gastrointestinal proteases (The ACE-inhibitory activities of the two purified peptide samples were respectively digested by pepsin and digested by pepsin followed by trypsin were 85.37% ± 2.15% and 84.63% ± 2.03%, respectively, and that of the control was 84.8% ± 1.83%. Thus, no significant ACE-inhibitory activity change).
