Oxidation of methionine residues of chicken ovoinhibitor with N-chlorosuccinimide resulted in a selective loss of its inhibitory activities. While trypsin inhibiting activity was not affected at all, half of the chymotrypsin-inhibiting activity and all of the elastase inhibiting activity were lost. Electrophoretic and affinity chromatography studies indicated that the 50% loss of the chymotrypsin-inhibiting activity resulted from the inactivation of one of its two chymotrypsin-inhibiting sites rather than from a decrease in the binding constants of both sites. Oxidation of ovoinhibitor-chymotrypsin and ovoinhibitor-elastase complexes with excess of N-chlorosuccinimide indicated that the complex formation in each case protected the site that binds the enzyme which participated in the complex, but did not protect the site that binds the other enzyme. Quantitative estimation of the number of oxidized methionine residues in the ovoinhibitor isolated from the complexes has shown that in each complex about one methionine residue was protected from oxidation. Nitrophenyl-sulfenylation of the single tryptophan residue of ovoinhibitor did not affect its inhibitory activities at all.

Intraduodenal amino acids are known to stimulate the release of gastric inhibitory polypeptide and cholecystokinin. In order to separate and quantitate gastric inhibitory polypeptide secretion selectively, 12 normal subjects received an intraduodenal perfusion of a mixed amino acid solution (158 mM) containing either methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine (perfusate 1), or an amino acid solution containing arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, and threonine (perfusate 2). Serum concentrations of gastric inhibitory polypeptide and insulin were significantly greater in the group receiving perfusate 2 (P less than 0.001). In contrast, after administration of amino acid perfusate 1, there was only a slight increase in serum gastric inhibitory polypeptide concentration and insulin secretion increased only slightly. Mean trypsin and bilirubin outputs in the group receiving perfusate 1 were nearly 3 times greater than the outputs of the group receiving the other amino acid mixture. This study expands the importance of intraduodenal amino acid mixtures in stimulating secretion of gastric inhibitory polypeptide and insulin and quantitatively separates gastric inhibitory polypeptide release from release of hormones that stimulate pancreatic enzyme secretion, such as cholecystokinin.

The hydrolysis of proteins contained in the dietetic protein-rich bread with crystalline pepsin, trypsin and chemotrypsin was studied for the first time by using an apparatus devised by A. A. Pokrovsky and I. D. Ertanov and by following procedures as proposed by them (1968). By the end of every hour of the experiment 4.31 and 4.04, 7.88 and 4.90, 9.20 and 6.00, 12.96 and 11.72,19.00 and 12.55, 21.14 and 14.00 per cent of the initial quantity of the proteins contained in these two types of bread were hydrolysed respectively. The susceptibility to the action of enzymes on the part of the study products proved much lower than the theoretical proteinic values of the wheat, rye bread (M. S. Marshak, 1971) and below the results obtained by the analogous tests with the proteolysis of the ordinary bread proteins. Inasmuch as the protein-rich bread is baked according to the 1936 formulation an inference is drawn on the expediency of enriching such bread with dairy protein, rye gluten and belip, which will rresult in a more acceptable ratio of tryptophan/lysine and should, apparently, contribute to a greater intensity of the proteins hydrolysis in case of such a bread when it reaches the stomach and the proximal segment of the small intestine.

A protein proteinase inhibitor was isolated and purified from eggplant exocarp by heat treatment, ammomium sulfate fractionation, column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 and G-50. The final purified preparation of the inhibitor was found homogeneous by electrophoretic analysis. The inhibitor showed strong and stoichiometric inhibition on trypsin whereas it showed weak inhibition on alpha-chymotrypsin. It displayed no inhibiting characteristics on pepsin. The molecular weight of the inhibitor was estimated to be approximately 6000. This finding, with the trypsin inhibition data, suggested that the inhibitor combined trypsin in the molar ratio of 1:1. The amino acid analysis indicated that the inhibitor is rich in half-cystine, glycine and aspartic acid, and contains no tryptophan, histidine, methionine or valine.

The heavy water (D2O) has been shown to induce the conformational transitions in trypsin, chymotrypsin and pepsin. The transfer of proteins from H2O into D2O results a change in their sensitivity to UV-light. An increase in sensitivity to the irradiation at 248 nm and a decrease in sensitivity to the irradiation at 280 nm were observed. The quantum yield of chromophore photolysis (for cystyne and tryptophan) is correspondingly changed. However, although the quantum yield of sensitized reduction of cystine by solvated electrons photochemically ejected from the aromatic acid residues during irradiation at 280 nm increases instead of a rise a drop in the quantum yield of protein inactivation is registered. The data obtained are discussed in terms of importance of solvated shell for conformational stability of proteins. The solvated electrons are suggested to be transfered mainly to nonessential disulfide bridges within trypsin molecule. Rupture of these bonds does not result in trypsin inactivation.

The amino acid composition of protein was studied with Bacillus megaterium. Most of the essential amino acids are present in sufficient amounts, with the exception of sulphur-containing amino acids and probably tryptophan. The content of methionine is 2 percent. The proteins of the biomass are easily digested by trypsin. The culture of Bac. megaterium grows in a mineral medium containing 5 percent of sucrose or glucose. The yield of dry biomass recalculated for the sugar consumed decreases from 0.6 to 0.3 with an increase of the sugar concentration. The addition of molasses or corn steep increases the yield of the biomass to 15--20 g of dry matter per one litre of the medium. The biomass grown under these conditions contains 8--9 percent of nitrogen, 40 percent of protein, up to 30 percent of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate in the form of granular inclusions, and 10--14 percent of RNA.

The trypsin inhibitor in eggplant, Solanum melongena L., was isolated and purified by the improved method with the techniques of dialysis using acetylated cellulose tube and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. The final preparation was found to be homogeneous by disc and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This inhibitor had the molecular weight of about 6,200, the pI value of 4.7, and furthermore characteristic amino acid composition lacking in tryptophan, histidine, valine and methionine. The trypsin inhibition data indicated that the purified inhibitor combined with bovine trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] in the molar ratio of 1:1. These properties of this inhibitor were in agreement with those of the dialyzable eggplant trypsin inhibitor previously purified, indicating that the dialyzable and non-dialyzable inhibitors in eggplant are identical.

An acid stable protease inhibitor was isolated from human bronchial secretion. Two important stages of the purification procedure were affinity chromatography on trypsin bound to Affi-Gel 10 and ion-exchange chromatography on SP-Sephadex C-50. The isolated inhibitor appeared as a single band on analytical disc electrophoresis and eluted as a homogeneous protein peak on gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 corresponding to a molecular weight of about 10500. Amino acid analyses showed no tryptophan or histidine and as N-terminal amino acid tyrosine. No glucosamine or galactosamine was detected. The results of the analyses suggest that the purified inhibitor is identical to the low molecular weight trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitor of human seminal plasma (HUSI-I).

Two isoinhibitors (II and III-B) have been isolated from kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in a highly purified state. Both were active against trypsin and chymotrypsin to the same extent. Their amino acid composition is characterized by a high content of half-cystine, aspartic acid (or asparagine) and serine, by the absence of valine, methionine and tryptophan. Glycine and serine were N-terminal in II and III-B respectively. Both isoinhibitors have C-terminal leucine.

The complete amino acid sequence of the major component myoglobin from Pacific common dolphin, Delphinus delphis, was determined by the automatic Edman degradation of several large peptides obtained by specific cleavages of the protein. More than 80% of the covalent structure was established by the degradation of the apomyoglobin and five peptides from: (1) cyanogen bromide cleavage at the two methionine residues, (2) trypsin cleavage of the acetimidated apomyoglobin at the three arginine residues, and (3) 2-p-nitrophenylsulfenyl-3-methyl-3'-bromoindolenine cleavage at the two tryptophan residues. The rest of the sequence was determined by use of the peptides prepared from further digestion of the central cyanogen bromide peptide with staphylococcal protease and trypsin. The primary structure of this myoglobin proved identical with that from the Atlantic bottlenosed dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, but showed four substitutions with respect to the sequence reported for the Black Sea dolphin which has also been given the designation Delphinus delphis.
