Our Research

The Milk Bioactive Peptide Database (MBPDB) includes all known bioactive peptides derived from milk proteins from any species. This program allows inputting peptide sequences of interest, including the results of peptidomics analyses, to determine which have homology with known bioactive peptides.
The PePEx platform allows visual mapping of these peptides on their parent protein sequences, spotlighting areas with a high concentration of bioactive peptides.
