The first bioactive (angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitory) peptide isolated from pearl matrix protein [PDF]

Heliyon
In this research, we unveil the medical potential of pearls by identifying a novel bioactive peptide within them for the first time. The peptide, termed KKCHFWPFPW, emerges as a pioneering angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, originating from
