Consecutive purification methods, including size exclusion chromatography and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC), were used to isolate the ACE inhibition peptides. The amino acid sequences of the peptides were identified as Ile-Asn-Asp, Val-Glu-Pro-Gly and Leu-Ala-Asp-Glu-Phe. The IC_(50) values of the purified peptides for ACE inhibition activity were 34.72 μmol L^(-1), 20.55 μmol L^(-1) and 22.77 μmol L^(-1), respectively. These results suggested that S. nudus proteins contain specific peptides that can be released by enzymatic hydrolysis. This study may provide an experimental basis for further systematic research, rational development and clinical utilization of sandworm resources.展开更多
