A novel trypsin inhibitor, named RcTI, was purified from castor bean cake (Ricinus communis L.) by heat treatment followed by chromatography on anhydrotrypsin-Sepharose 4B and Resource Q. RcTI is a 14 kDa competitive inhibitor with pI 5.2 and a dissociation constant (Ki) of 1.9 × 10−5 mM. The amino-terminal sequence showed similarity with a 2S sulfur-rich seed storage protein (83%) and napin-like protein (48%)....

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a food of great commercial importance, being the main food source in some regions such as northeastern Brazil. Unfortunately, cowpea is subject to attack by various pathogens and pests, causing considerable losses in productivity. To reduce these losses, there are several chemical methods that are widely used, but the indiscriminate use of fungicides has caused damage to...
