Noun
tripeptide (plural tripeptides)
(chemistry) An organic compound formed from three amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
A tripeptide (example Val Gly Ala ) with green marked amino end ( L-Valine ) and blue marked carboxyl end ( L-Alanine Number of amino acids: *A monopeptide has one amino acid. Source: Internet
In 1991, Japanese scientists created the first milk-based ACE inhibitor, in the form of a fermented milk drink, using specific cultures to liberate the tripeptide isoleucine proline -proline (IPP) from the dairy protein. Source: Internet
This path begins with a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), ACV synthetase (ACVS), which generates the linear tripeptide δ-( L -α-aminoadipyl)- L -cysteine- D -valine (ACV). Source: Internet
For example, the tripeptide glutathione is an essential part of the defenses of cells against oxidative stress. Source: Internet
Valine -proline-proline (VPP) is also liberated in this process—another milk tripeptide with a very similar chemical structure to IPP. Source: Internet
