Abstract
The current trend is the promotion of antioxidants that are beneficial for both health and the environment. Candida utilis have garnered considerable attention due to their commendable attributes such as non-toxicity and the ability to thrive in waste. Therefore, Candida utilis was used as raw material to isolate and identify new antioxidant peptides by employing methods such as ultrafiltration, DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The antioxidant mechanism of peptides was investigated by molecular docking. The properties of antioxidant peptides were evaluated using a variety of computational tools. This study resulted in the identification of two novel antioxidant peptides. According to the molecular docking results, the antioxidant mechanism of Candida utilis peptides operates by obstructing the entry to the myeloperoxidase activity cavity. The (−) CDOCKER energy of antioxidant peptides was 6.2 and 6.1 kcal/mol, respectively. Additionally, computer predictions indicated that antioxidant peptides exhibited non-toxicity and poor solubility.
