The egg-derived peptides Arg-Val-Pro-Ser-Leu (RVPSL) and Gln-Ile-Gly-Leu-Phe (QIGLF) display strong angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and they can be taken up by intestinal epithelial cells. The interaction of the egg-derived peptides RVPSL and QIGLF with the membrane remains unclear.
RESULTS: The position and structure of the peptides in the membrane were calculated. The maximum density values of RVPSL and QIGLF were 2.27 and 1.22 nm from the center of the 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) membrane, respectively, indicating that peptides penetrated the membrane-water interface and were embedded in the membrane. The interaction of RVPSL and QIGLF with the DPPC membrane did not affect the average area per lipid or the lipid sequence parameters. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS of the interaction between the peptide RVPSL with the DPPC membrane were 17.91 kJ mol-1 , -17.63 kJ mol-1 , 187.5 J mol-1 ·k-1 , respectively. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS of the interaction between peptide QIGLF with DPPC membrane were 17.10 kJ mol-1 , -17.12 kJ mol-1 , 114.8 J mol-1 ·k-1 , respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that the binding of peptides RVPSL and QIGLF to DPPC is an endothermic, spontaneous, and entropy-driven reaction. The results of the study are relevant to the problem of the low bioavailability of bioactive peptides (BP). © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
