Physicochemical characterisation, molecular docking, and drug-likeness evaluation of hypotensive peptides encrypted in flaxseed proteome.

ABSTRACT: In this study, hypotensive peptides derived from mature flaxseed protein sequences were predicted in silico using BIOPEP-UWM with nine proteases, three each from digestive, plant and microbial sources. The physicochemical properties of 2256 ACE-inhibitory peptides and 267 renin-inhibitory peptides (including seven (7) peptides with dual inhibitory activities against both ACE and renin enzymes) were assessed in silico using the 'Peptides' package of R. The hypotensive peptides showed relatively low molecular weight (mol. wt.) range (132 = mol. wt. ≤ 442 Da); broad range of isoelectric point (3.61 = pI ≤ 12.50); both high (>2) and low (≤2) Boman indices, and a variety of hydrophobicity indices (hydrophilic, hydrophobic and amphipathic properties). Following this, the sev
