Isolation and biochemical characterization of bradykinin-potentiating peptides from Bitis gabonica rhinoceros

BACKGROUND: Venoms represent a still underexplored reservoir of bioactive components that might mitigate or cure diseases in conditions in which conventional therapy is ineffective. The bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPPs) comprise a class of angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. The...
