Description
Lima bean trypsin inhibitor which inhibits bovine as well as human trypsin and plasmin, acts upon both trypsin and chymotrypsin by forming equimolar complexes. Lima bean inhibitors may be chromatographically separated into as many as six variants. Jones et al., Biochem., 2, 66, (1963) characterized four of them. All have similar but not identical amino acid composition, contain six or seven disulfide bonds and lack methionine and tryptophan. Molecular weights vary between 8 kDa and 10 kDa.
Fraction III of the preparation described by Fraenkel-Conrat, et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 37, 393 (1952). Supplied as a dialyzed, lyophilized powder.
