Discovery of Novel Peptides as DPP-IV Inhibitors: In Silico Screening, Molecular Dynamics Simulations, and Preliminary In Vitro Evaluation
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common metabolic disorder characterized by impaired insulin secretion, which leads to obesity. The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has a significant role in glucose homeostasis, but its native form in the human body is highly susceptible to proteolytic degr...
