Abstract:Bioactive peptides have been shown to affect cell membrane
fluidity,
which is an important indicator of the cell membrane structure and
function. However, the underlying mechanism of egg white-derived bioactive
peptide regulation of cell membrane fluidity has not been elucidated
yet. The cell membrane fluidity was investigated by giant unilamellar
vesicles in the present study. The results showed that peptides TCNW,
ADWAK, ESIINF, VPIEGII, LVEEY, and WKLC connect to membranes through
intermolecular interaction… Show more
