Abstract
The interaction between duodenase, which belongs to a group of Janus-faced proteinases, and classical Bowman-Birk (BBI) and Kunitz (STI) type inhibito rs from soybean was investigated. Duodenase was shown to interact only with the antichymotrypsin site (Leu-Ser) of BBI, whereas the antitrypsin site ( Lys-Ser) of the inhibitor appeared to be vacant and capable of interaction with trypsin. The inhibition constants of duodenase by BBI, the BBI-trypsin complex, and STI were 4, 400, and 40 nM, respectively.
