Abstract

The kinetics of binding of bovine trypsin to a proteinaceous inhibitor of trypsin from buckwheat seeds (BWI-1a) has been studied. The association rate constant (kass) was 2.2-106 M-1 sec-1 and the dissociation rate constant (koff) of the enzyme-inhibitor complex was 3.5·10-3 sec-1; the inhibition constant Ki was 1.5 nM. The inhibitor BWI-1a is of the slow, tightly binding type. The mechanism of the inhibition of bovine trypsin by the trypsin inhibitor BWI-1a was studied. The mechanism of inhibition was found to involve two steps according to the kinetic data.
