Abstract:
Understanding the interaction of food derived angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides and intestinal epithelial cell membrane may help to improve their absorption. This research aimed to study the molecular interaction of ACE inhibitory tri-peptides ADF, FGR, and MIR with DPPC membrane during absorption process. The DPPC liposome was prepared and characterized, then used as a model membrane. The permeability of tri-peptides across the membrane was investigated using Fluorescence spectroscopy. The effect of tri-peptides on the structure and dynamics of DPPC bilayers was determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effect of tri-peptides on the phase transition temperature in the DPPC membrane was also analyzed using Differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that ACE inhibitory tri-peptides ADF, FGR, and MIR can penetrate into both the membrane-water interface and hydrophobic region of DPPC bilayer, and the tri-peptide FGR have higher permeability across the membrane.
