Description
Summary:Every year, peptide-based preparations are becoming more and more in demand in medicine. Therefore, the identification and study of new biomaterials that are sources of regulatory peptides are an urgent tasks. This study considers the epidermal secretion of the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) as a readily available raw material for the preparation of peptide complexes. In the history of peptide drug synthesis, this substance was first investigated as a source for obtaining regulatory peptides with antioxidant activity. We applied a new approach to the process of the isolation of biologically active peptide fractions, thereby reducing the time and increasing the yield of the target product.
