Abstract
► The Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor from Acacia victoriae (Bentham) seeds (AvTI) is glycosylated to about 2.06%. ► Glutamate (13.25%), aspartate (10.33%), leucine (7.62%) and lysine (7.01%) were the major amino acids in AvTI. ► The dissociation constant (Ki) for the inhibition of bovine trypsin indicates a high affinity between AvTI and trypsin. ► The role of AvTI as a competitive inhibitor was confirmed by a double reciprocal plot.
