Abstrakt: A protein that inhibited the proteolytic activity of trypsin was isolated from amaranth leaves ( Amaranthus cruentus) by affinity chromatography on trypsin-Sepharose. The inhibition was noncompetitive (with p-nitroanilide- N-α-benzoyl-DL-arginine as substrate) and had a K i, of 1.87 × 10−7 M. The protein caused a weaker inhibitory effect on chymotrypsin, had no effect on subtilisin, displayed a molecular weight of 8 kDa, and contained no cysteine residues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
