Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common nutritional disease affecting 2 billion people. To develop a new iron-fortified food, we designed a novel type of iron-chelating peptide [Sea cucumbers peptides (SCP)-Fe] from sea cucumbers. SCP can chelate ferrous ions. The neutral protease hydrolysate have the highest iron chelating activity (117.17 ± 2.62 mg/g). Single factors including pH, material ratio, and molecular weight, had a significant effect on the iron chelating activity. The characterization of the SCP-Fe chelate revealed a loose and blocky structure with increased particle size. The amino acid composition, peptide identification and molecular docking indicated that Asp, Glu, Gly and Pro played an important role in binding to ferrous ions. After chelation, SCP-Fe chelate had dual nutrition effects of stronger radical scavenging ability and potential high-efficiency iron supplementation ability. These results might provide insights into the methods for developing functional foods such as iron-fortified seafood.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007477 Ions An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
D007501 Iron A metallic element with atomic symbol Fe, atomic number 26, and atomic weight 55.85. It is an essential constituent of HEMOGLOBINS; CYTOCHROMES; and IRON-BINDING PROTEINS. It plays a role in cellular redox reactions and in the transport of OXYGEN. Iron-56,Iron 56
D007502 Iron Chelating Agents Organic chemicals that form two or more coordination links with an iron ion. Once coordination has occurred, the complex formed is called a chelate. The iron-binding porphyrin group of hemoglobin is an example of a metal chelate found in biological systems. Iron Chelates,Agents, Iron Chelating,Chelates, Iron,Chelating Agents, Iron
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
