Biological/Functional activity & target protein
ACE-inhibitory activity
  1. The peptide PNVA showed potent Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) (EC 3.4.15.1) inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 8.18 ± 0.24 μM.

  2. Molecular docking showed that PNVA formed a larger number of hydrogen bonds with ACE than NVA, while the proline at the N-terminal of peptide can affect the orientation of the binding site of ACE.

  3. The crystal structures of ACE (PDB ID: 2XYD)  bound with peptides were obtained from the Protein Data Bank (http://www.rcsb.org) for the docking studies.
