Popis: A trypsin inhibitor (MCI-3) was isolated from the seeds of Momordica charantia Linn. Cucurbitaceae in three steps involving the affinity chromatography, CM-Sephadex chromatography and HPLC. It is composed of 62 amino acid residues: Asp3Thr.5Ser4Glu5Pro4Gly7Ala8Val9Ile4Leu1Lys3Arg8Trp1; contained no cysteine; and its Mr was 7443. The amino acid sequence showed significant homology with ‘potato inhibitor I family’ inhibitors.
