Abstract: The sea is rich in unique biological resources. Marine-derived proteins are good precursors for developing bioactive peptides. Marine bioactive peptides have broad development and application prospects with the advantages of wide availability, high efficiency and safety. This paper reviews the functional characteristics of marine bioactive peptides including antioxidant peptides, antimicrobial peptides, antifreeze peptides, metal ion chelating peptides and immunomodulatory peptides. Meanwhile, the structure-activity relationship and mechanism of action of these bioactive peptides are elucidated. Future research and development trends for marine bioactive peptides are discussed together with future application prospects. This paper is expected to provide a reference for further research of marine bioactive peptides.

Key words: marine bioactive peptides; structure-activity relationship; mechanism of action
