Abstract
A trypsin inhibitor (FMTI) isolated from Eleusine coracana had a mol. wt. of 12 000 and amino acid analysis showed that it contained 8 half-cystines and was rich in basic amino acids and glutamic acid. Glutamic acid was the N-terminal amino acid of the inhibitor. FMTI possessed the unique property of inhibiting α-amylases. FMTI in 1:1 complex with bovine trypsin exhibited α-amylase inhibitory activity suggesting the 'double-headed' nature of the inhibitor. The chemical modification of lysine and arginine residues indicated that -NH2 groups are essential for the activity of FMTI towards trypsin
