Studies of Bitter Peptides from Casein Hydrolyzate. IV. Relationship between Bitterness and Hydrophobic Amino Acids Moiety in the C-Terminal of BPIa (Arg-Gly-Pro-Pro-Phe-Ile-Val)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.57.90

In the synthetic studies of bitter peptide BPIa (Arg-Gly-Pro-Pro-Phe-Ile-Val), we sythesized several BPIa analogs to elucidate the participation of the hydrophobic amino acids moiety in the C-terminal in the bitter taste exhibited by BPIa.The syntheses of
