The Trypsin and Chymotrypsin Inhibitors from Avian Egg Whites

Low Trypsin Inhibitors and Chymotrypsin Inhibitors in Winged Bean Mutants

In present studies several attempts have been made to reduce the amount of trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitors in winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) mutants developed through induced mutation. The low seed TI (trypsin inhibitor) lines comprised long pod-5 and long pod-2 mutant lines. The low tuber TI feature could be noted in the mutant population. Such lines were long pod-5, large leaf/...

Trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitors in insects and gut leeches.

The constant increase of life expectancy is associated with major ageing of developed populations. This indicates that the new century will have one of most epidemic progressions of cardiovascular, cancer and inflammatory diseases. The high challenge for medical research is to compress such morbidity. In these conditions, invertebrates have demonstrated to be truly useful models in drug discove...

Fractionation and properties of trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitors from lima beans.

Inhibitors of trypsin and chymotrypsin from several highly inbred genetic types of lima beans were fractionated by ion exchange chromatography. Six chromatographically distinct inhibitors were found in all cases. However, the relative distribution of these components fell into two types, dependent upon the variety of bean used. One milligram of one of the chromatographically homogeneous fractio...

A trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor from chick peas (Cicer arietinum).

1. A trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor was isolated by extraction of chick-pea meal at pH8.3, followed by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and successive column chromatography on CM-cellulose and calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite). 2. The inhibitor was pure by polyacrylamide-gel and cellulose acetate electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels. 3. The inhibitor had a molecular we...
