The Macrotyloma axillare plant, belonging to the Leguminosae family, is a perennial climbing or trailing herb 0.2--3.5 m long. The plant is indigenous to South Africa and it occurs in the warm dry northern parts of the Transvaal. It has been introduced into Australia, where the seed are used as
Plant protease Inhibitors (PIs) play key roles in regulation of many biological activities and being less toxic, more potent and specific in comparision to chemical inhibitors.A new proteinaceous trypsin inhibitor was isolated and purified from Macrotyloma Fabaceae are a rich source of protease inhibitors.A proteinaceous protease inhibitor of 25 KDa designated as Macrotyloma uniflorum protease inhibitor (MUPI) was isolated from seeds of Macrotyloma uniflorum and purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBIs) are protein molecules containing two inhibitory domains for enzymes similar to trypsin and chymotrypsin. Interest in these inhibitors arose from their properties against the cancer chemically induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH). In this study the effect of two BBI
Plant seeds contain a large number of protease inhibitors of animal, fungal, and bacterial origin. One of the well-studied families of these inhibitors is the Bowman-Birk family(BBI). The BBIs from dicotyledonous seeds are 8K, double-headed proteins. In contrast, the 8K inhibitors from
