Recent research examined antibacterial peptides derived from sesame protein using computational and laboratory methods to study their effectiveness against bacteria. Sesame seed peptides have been shown to have various health benefits, including anti-aging and diabetes resistance, but their antibacterial properties were not fully understood. The study identified two peptides, AlaGly-Gly-Val-Pro-Arg and Ser-Thr-Ile-Arg, derived from sesame seeds, which exhibited antibacterial effectiveness against both E. coli and S. aureus. These peptides were found to be non-toxic, non-allergenic, and positively charged, which contributed to their antimicrobial activity. The research highlights the potential of sesame-derived peptides for further development and therapeutic applications.
