Discovery and validation of pumpkin seed protein-derived bioactive peptides targeting α-glucosidase: Insights into the molecular mechanisms.

Pumpkin seed protein (PSP) is a promising precursor of bioactive peptides, but the mechanisms underlying the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of its hydrolysates are not yet fully understood. In the present work, a previously unreported tetrapeptide with α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, YYPW, was obtained from PSP t...
