Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBIs) are found primarily in seeds of legumes and in cereal grains.
These canonical inhibitors share a highly conserved nine-amino acids binding loop motif …

Plant serine protease inhibitors are defense proteins crafted by nature for inhibiting serine
proteases. Use of eco-friendly, sustainable and effective protein molecules which could halt …

Leguminous plants in the tropical rainforests are a rich source of proteinase inhibitors and
this work illustrates isolation of a serine proteinase inhibitor from the seeds of Archidendron …

A proteinase inhibitor (BgPI) was purified from black gram, Vigna mungo (cv. TAU-1) seeds
by using ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by ion-exchange, affinity and gel-filtration …

In Europe, there is an increasing interest in pulses both for their beneficial effects in crop**
systems and for human health. However, despite these advantages, the acreage dedicated …

A proteinaceous trypsin inhibitor was purified from Crotalaria pallida seeds by ammonium
sulfate precipitation, affinity chromatography on immobilized trypsin–Sepharose and TCA …

Gossypium hirsutum (commercial cooton) is one of the most economically important fibers
sources and a commodity crop highly affected by insect pests and pathogens. Several …

The present study aims to provide new in vitro and in vivo biochemical information about a
novel Kunitz trypsin inhibitor purified from Piptadenia moniliformis seeds. The purification …
