Anti-pepsin activity of silicon dioxide nanoparticles [PDF]
SiO2NPs as an inhibitor of pepsin enzyme for treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) was used. Silicon dioxide nanoparticles (pepsin coated SiO2NPs) are among the safest nanoparticles that can be used inside the human body.

Evaluation of the binding affinity and antioxidant activity of phlorizin to pepsin and trypsin [PDF]
Phlorizin (PHL) is a natural compound with strong antioxidant properties mainly found in apples. In this paper, the interaction mechanism of PHL with pepsin and trypsin was comparatively evaluated by computer simulation, fluorescence spectra, circular ...

Combined laryngopharyngeal reflux and obstructive sleep apnea (CLOSA) – Salivary pepsin test for laryngopharyngeal reflux in obstructive sleep apnea patients [PDF]
Objectives: Reflux disease including gastroesophageal reflux and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is often found in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Endoscopic examination is a gold standard diagnosis for reflux disease.

Antibacterial activity of a pepsin‐derived bovine hemoglobin fragment [PDF]
Peptic digestion of bovine hemoglobin yields a fragment with antibacterial activity. This peptide was purified to homogeneity by a two‐step procedure including anion exchange chromatography and preparative reversed‐phase HPLC. Mass determination and fragmentation indicated that this peptide corresponded to the 1–23 fragment of the α chain of hemoglobin.

Separation of pepsin I, pepsin II A, pepsin II B, and pepsin III from human gastric mucosa [PDF]
Extracts of human gastric mucosa have been fractionated on diethylaminoethyl cellulose to yield three precursors of proteolytic enzymes active at low pH which have been called pepsinogen I, pepsinogen II, and pepsinogen III. Pepsinogen I has been found in the mucosa from all parts of the stomach examined as well as in the proximal duodenum. Pepsinogen

Analyzing pepsin degradation assay conditions used for allergenicity assessments to ensure that pepsin susceptible and pepsin resistant dietary proteins are distinguishable. [PDF]
The susceptibility of a dietary protein to proteolytic degradation by digestive enzymes, such as gastric pepsin, provides information on the likelihood of systemic exposure to a structurally intact and biologically active macromolecule, thus informing on

Pepsin D. A minor component of commercial pepsin preparations [PDF]
Methods are described for the isolation and purification of pepsin D, an enzyme which accounts for about 10% of the enzymic activity in commercial preparations of pepsin. Pepsin D is similar to pepsin in having a molecular weight of about 35000, the same C-terminal amino acid sequence, and an N-terminal isoleucine residue.
