Section outline


    • Photosynthesis is essential for the growth of seaweed. Chloroplasts have many proteins involved in photosynthesis. The composition of amino acids in dulse was very similar to that of chloroplast proteins (Table 1). Therefore, peptide information that inhibits ACE was obtained from the database and compared with the chloroplast genome proteins (Table 2). This study is focusing on tripeptides, revealing that many peptides are found in photosynthesis (PS) and metabolism (Meta). The data would be more accurate by calculating the amount of each component.
