- PublicationPredictive modelling of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory dipeptides(Elsevier, 2012-08-14)
; ; ; ; The ability of docking to predict angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory dipeptide sequences was assessed using AutoDock Vina. All potential dipeptides and phospho-dipeptides were docked and scored. Peptide intestinal stability was assessed using a prediction amino acid clustering model. Selected dipeptides, having AutoDock Vina scores −8.1 and predicted to be ‘stable’ intestinally, were characterised, using LIGPLOT and for ACE-inhibitory potency. Two newly identified ACE-inhibitory dipeptides, Asp-Trp and Trp-Pro, having Vina scores of −8.3 and −8.6 gave IC50 values of 258 ± 4.23 and 217 ± 15.7 μM, respectively. LIGPLOT analysis indicated no zinc interaction for these dipeptides. Phospho-dipeptides were predicted to have a good affinity for ACE. However, the experimentally determined IC50 results did not correlate since, for example, Trp-pThr and Pro-pTyr, having Vina scores of −8.5 and −8.1, respectively, displayed IC50 values of >500 μM. While docking allowed identification of new ACE inhibitory dipeptides, it may not be a fully reliable predictive tool in all cases.Scopus© Citations 70 3547
