ACE-inhibitory activity |
The peptide NCW showed potent Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) (EC 3.4.15.1) inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 35.5 μM. The results suggested that the peptide NCW comes into contact with Zn 701, Tyr 523, His 383, Glu 384, Glu 411, and His 387. The higher inhibitory potency of NCW might be attributed to the formation of more hydrogen bonds with the ACE’s active site.
The 3-D structure of the human ACE was imported from the Protein Data Bank (1O86.pdb, a crystal structure of the human ACE).
