Streptomyces속 균이 생산하는 trypsin inhibitor의 trypsin에 대한 반응성을 조사해 본 결과 본 저해물질은 crystalline trypsin (20.000 unit, hog pancreas)에 대하여 1/8량에서 약 50%의 저해률을 나타내었으며 trypsin에 대한 저해양상은 mixed noncompetitive-competitive inhibition type이었으며 enzyme-inhibitor complex를 빨리 형성하는데 반응액중 isoleucine이 공존하면 활성이 증가되였으며 Ag$_{＋}$ Hg$_{＋＋}$등의 금속ion은 강하게 본 저해물질의 작용을 억제하였다. 저해률은 사용한 기질의 종류에 따라 차이가 나서 albumin을 사용하였을 때는 casein이나 hemoglobin을 사용하였을 때보다 저해률이 높았다. 그러고 혈액의 응고에 대해서도 저해작용을 나타내었다.
Trypsin inhibitor produced by Streptomyces sp. was investigated its reactive characteristics against trypsin. The mode of inhibition against trypsin was mixed type of non-competitive and competitive with casein, and enzyme-inhibitor complex was formed rapidly. The inhibitory activity was increased by the addition of isoleucine and depressed by silver, mercuric or cupric ion. And when egg albumin or hemoglobin was used as substrate for trypsin, the inhibition ratio was changed. The inhibitor inhibited coagulation of blood of bovine.
