  • Title: Circular dichroism spectra of cleavage fragments of soybean trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitor.
    Author: Birk Y, Jibson MD, Bewley TA.
    Journal: Int J Pept Protein Res; 1980 Mar; 15(3):193-9. PubMed ID: 7380603.
    Abstract:
    Circular dichroism spectra of biologically active fragments of Bowman-Birk soybean inhibitor have been determined in acidic, neutral, and alkaline conditions. Neither fragment showed evidence of alpha-helix or beta-structure. Negative dichroism above 260nm has been assigned in both fragments primarily to disulfide bonds, with a minor contribution from tyrosine in a hydrophilic environment. The individual spectra of these fragments, and their sum between 230 and 340 nm have been compared with the spectra of the intact inhibitor and several structurally related proteins. Possible interactions which may give rise to CD bands in this region are discussed.
