A homogenous trypsin inhibitor from wheat grain has been characterized. It is a protein of molecular weight 9105 Da and isoelectric point PI = 9.5. It belongs to arginine type inhibitors. The isolated inhibitor does neither inhibit native proteinases from wheat grain nor a-chymotrypsin, papein and p

β¦ Synopsis
The aim of this study was the identification of trypsin inhibitors in wheat grain, Beta variety. These inhibitors in spite of other functional properties belong to the antinutrient substances. According to the elaborated procedure first, the extract showing inhibitory activity was salted out at 30-80 % ammonium sulfate saturation. Subsequently the preparation was purified by afinity chromatography with trypsin bound on Sepharose 4B. As result of this treatment a protein which had inhibitory activity 20-fold stronger than that of the crude extract was obtained. The homogeneity of the preparation was checked by disc electrophoresis.
The study showed that the isolated protein was most probably a monomer bound to some carbohydrates.

The peptidase and amylase inhibitors were isolated from rye and preliminarily purified to investigate some of their properties. It was shown, that both are of albumin character despite the acetic acid solubility of the former. They are not active against the native cereal grain peptidases or amylase
