Abstract
The multifunctional properties of fish gelatin hydrolysates have not been completely elucidated. Here, the biological characterization of these peptides was performed to engineer multifunctional peptides. Bioactive peptides were produced from mackerel byproducts via successive enzymatic hydrolysis reactions using subtilisin A and actinidin as microbial and herbal proteases. The antibacterial activity against both gram-negative and -positive food-borne pathogens, includingEscherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, andKlebsiella pneumoniae, as well as the inhibitory potential of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), was accessed in vitro. The synthesized peptides demonstrated multifunctional properties, which were further confirmed by in silico protocols. The ACE and DPP-IV inhibitory (IC50) values of P1, P2, and P3 were 0.92 and 0.87, 0.51 and 0.93, 0.78 and 1.16 mg mL−1, respectively. Moreover, the binding energy was sufficient for all three peptides to inhibit both ACE and DPP-IV enzymes with excellent three-dimensional conformation (RMSD = 0.000) for all six docking mechanisms.
