[Research development of chemistry and bioactive activity of plant peptides]

As the technologies of separation, purification and determination develop rapidly, more and more peptide compounds, which have special bioactive and medical value, have been separated from natural plants, such as oligopeptides and cyclopeptides. The chemical structures and function of these plant peptides have been researched profoundly. This paper mainly reviews the composition, structure, bioactive function and medicine value of representative plant peptides in recent years, and can give some references about research and application of plant bioactive peptides.
