Herein, we review the multifaceted roles of proline in cell biology. This peculiar cyclic imino
acid is:(i) A main precursor of extracellular collagens (the most abundant human proteins) …

Marine bioactive peptides, as a source of unique bioactive compounds, are the focus of
current research. They exert various biological roles, some of the most crucial of which are …

It is now well documented that peptides with enhanced or alternative functionality (termed
cryptides) can be liberated from larger, and sometimes inactive, proteins. A primary example …

This study is done with the aim to bring together the various antimicrobial peptides that are
present in the crustacean hemolymph and their sources along with its characteristics …

Unlike the α-helical and β-sheet antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), our knowledge on amino
acid-rich AMPs is limited. This article conducts a systematic study of rich AMPs (> 25%) from …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important components of the innate immunity. Many
antimicrobial peptides have been found from marine mollusks. Little information about AMPs …

The application of high-throughput sequencing technologies to non-model organisms has
brought new opportunities for the identification of bioactive peptides from genomes and …

Marine molluscs from the family Muricidae hold great potential for development as a source
of therapeutically useful compounds. Traditionally known for the production of the ancient …

The seafood industry plays a huge role in the blue economy, exploiting the advantage of the
enriched protein content of marine organisms such as shrimps and molluscs, which are …

Novel melanoidins are produced by the Maillard reaction. Here, melanoidins with high
