【Abstract】 A novel proteinaceous inhibitor of α amylase was purified from the wild amaranth ( Amaranthus paniculatus ) seeds. The inhibitor, named WAI 1,has a molecular weight of 986 5 determined by MALDI TOF mass spectrometry. It is the smallest proteinaceous inhibitor of α amylase found so far. Preliminary compositional and structural analysis indicated that WAI 1 is a nonapeptide with N terminal pyroglutamate. Purified directly by reversed phase HPLC, WAI 1 potently inhibited the α amylase activity of the insect (Periplaneta Americana ) digestive duct in a noncompetitive manner and did not inhibit the human salivary α amylase. WAI 1 inhibited α amylase activity of Periplaneta Americana digestive duct evidently under mild acid conditions, with optimal inhibitory pH 6 0. WAI 1 exhibited the highest inhibitory activity after preincubation with the enzyme at 37℃ for about 30?min. When a fixed amount of α amylase used, along with the increase of the inhibitory/enzyme ratio the inhibition percentages of the α amylase activity were linearly increased up to about 50%, and then increased slowly up to a maximum of about 65%.更多还原
