Plants are known to have many secondary metabolites and phytochemical compounds
which are highly explored at biochemical and molecular genetics level and exploited …

Plant-based diets are a great source of protease inhibitors (PIs). Two of the most well-known
families of PIs are Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBI) and Kunitz-type inhibitors (KTI). The first …

Plants respond to stresses by producing a broad spectrum of bioactive specialized
metabolites. Hormonal elicitors, such as jasmonates, trigger a complex signaling circuit …

Plant-derived protease inhibitors (PI), such as Bowman-Birk inhibitors and Kunitz-type
inhibitors, have been suggested to negatively affect dietary protein digestion by blocking the …

The action of proteases can be controlled by several mechanisms, including regulation
through gene expression; post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation; zymogen …

Legume Kunitz type trypsin inhibitor (KTI) family is one of the most versatile families of
proteins. A typical KTI features a single peptide folded in β-trefoil manner, with the molecular …

Plants have evolved an intricate regulatory network of proteases and corresponding
protease inhibitors (PI), which operate in various biological pathways and serve diverse …

Protease inhibitors (PIs) are important biotechnological tools of interest in agriculture.
Usually they are the first proteins to be activated in plant-induced resistance against …

A new lectin, BfL, was purified from Bauhinia forficata seeds by ammonium sulfate
fractionation, DEAE-Sephadex ion exchange chromatography, Sepharose-4B and chitin …

Six α-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor genes (MnASIs) were identified from mulberry (Morus
notabilis). In this study, bioinformatics and expression pattern analysis of six MnASIs were …
