Resumen:
Bioactive peptides (BP) are short sequences (3-20 residues) that can be encrypted in food proteins sequences. BP modulates the biological activity of several human enzymes playing key roles in different metabolisms such us the regulation of blood pressure, stimulating or suppressing the action of the immune system, modulating the activity of the nervous system, inhibit the development of bacteria and fungi among others. The detection of BP in proteins is an important issue in food biotechnology for the development of functional foods. To study the relationships between sequence and structure with BP biological activity, in this work we study the structural and evolutionary occurrence of well characterized BP in the universe of known proteins.
