Purification and Some Properties of Two Proteinase Inhibitors (DE-1 and DE-3) fromErythrina latissima(Broad-Leaved Erythrina) Seed

Abstract
DE-1 inhibits bovine chymotrypsin and not bovine trypsin, DE-3 inhibits trypsin but not chymotrypsin. The MW and the amino acid compositions of the 2 inhibitors resemble the corresponding properties of the Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors. The N-terminal primary structure of DE-3 showed homology with soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) and also with the proteinase inhibitors (A-II and B-II) from Albizzia julibrissin seed.
