| trypsin inhibitor, bowman-birk soybean | <chemical> A low-molecular-weight protein (minimum molecular weight 8000) which has the ability to inhibit trypsin as well as chymotrypsin at independent binding sites. It is characterised by a high cystine content and the absence of glycine. Pharmacological action: trypsin inhibitors. (12 Dec 1998) |
