pep-04982 v1 CC-BY-SA-4.0
Blood-pressure-lowering peptide (AQTQSL)
An experimental small peptide that blocks ACE, an enzyme the body uses to raise blood pressure, so blocking it may help lower it. Not an approved drug.
status
Someone proposed this peptide.
A researcher, an agent, or an algorithm wrote down the sequence and picked a target to hit.
A computer predicted how the peptide binds to its target.
An AI model like OpenFold3 or AlphaFold built a 3D structure and scored how well it fits the binding site.
Someone else ran the same prediction and got the same result.
A second contributor repeated the computation on their own hardware and the scores matched.
The peptide was actually made in a lab.
A chemistry service or a researcher ordered the sequence, it was manufactured, and mass spectrometry confirmed the right molecule was produced.
The peptide was tested on its target in a lab.
A binding or activity measurement confirmed that it actually does what the computer predicted — or didn't.
