In this study, we characterized three novel peptides derived from the 19 kDa α-zein, and determined their bioactive profile in vitro and developed a structural model in silico. The peptides, 19ZP1, 19ZP2 and 19ZP3, formed α-helical structures and had positive and negative electrostatic potential surfaces (range of -1 to +1). According to the in silico algorithms, the peptides displayed low probabilities for cytotoxicity (≤0.05%), cell penetration (10-33%) and antioxidant activities (9-12.5%). In ...[more]
