Immunostimulating properties and three-dimensional structure of two tripeptides from human and cow caseins.
Some tripeptides obtained by enzymic digestion of caseins possess immunomodulating properties. In order to correlate activity and structure, X-ray analysis has been applied to two of them Leu-Leu-Tyr and Gly-Leu-Phe.
