Peptide Synthesis> | Chemically synthesized peptides with purity greater than 95% were obtained from GenScript Inc. (New Jersey, USA) with purity higher than 95%. Synthesized peptides were assayed for calcium-binding property according to the method described above in Section 2.5. Amount of iron bound to the peptides was determined using the previously described method of Kimatu et al. (2017). | Get A Quote |
This work was aimed at producing peptides containing calcium and iron-binding capabilities from mung bean protein extract after enzymatic hydrolysis. Mung bean protein hydrolysates were separated by ultrafiltration into eight fractions, and assayed for calcium and iron-binding properties. The <5 kDa fraction was the most active and was separated by size exclusion chromatography into 4 fractions. Fraction 2 had the most active calcium and iron-binding activities, and further identified by mass spectrometry coupled with FindPept tool. Potential peptides sequences (133) were identified and 10 with high contents of leucine, isoleucine and aspartic acid were synthesized. Peptides LLLGI, AIVIL and HADAD were the be... More
