A study of polyfunctional properties of biologically active Peptides

The article focuses on the study of the impact of biotechnological processing on the process of the targeted hydrolysis of milk proteins with the purpose of obtaining biologically active peptides, as well as on the analysis of a number of properties thereof: immunomodulatory, cytotoxic, antioxidant and prebiotic. The authors examined the properties (immunomodulatory, cytotoxic, antioxidant, and prebiotic) of biologically active peptides, isolated from milk proteins. The study showed that all of the examined peptides exhibit antitumor properties; furthermore, with the increase of the concentration of biopeptides the survival rate of cancer cells of different lines is reduced.
