Abstract:
:In the present study, we have utilized the transglutaminase (TGase) enzyme to modify the primary structure of VIP with diaminopropane (DAP) at the level of the Gln16. We have investigated the conformational stability of VIP and VIP-DAP in solution by limited proteolysis experiments. The VIP-DAP appears to be more resistant to the proteolytic attack of trypsin, thus indicating that the derivatization in position 16 is able to stabilize the structure of the peptide. However, we have studied their role in cell cycle modulation and antioxidant activity in the oropharyngeal epidermoid carcinoma KB cells.
