Abstract
The molecule of the inhibitor consists of 63 amino acid residues whose sequence is the following: Glu-Ile-Tyr-Phe-Glu-Pro-Asp-Phe-Gly-Phe-Pro-Pro-Asp-Cys-Lys-Val-Tyr-Thr-Glu-Ala-Cys-Thr-Arg-Glu-Tyr-Asn-Pro-Ile-Cys-Asp-Ser-Ala-Ala-Lys-Thr-Tyr-Ser-Asn-Glu-Cys-Thr-Phe-Cys-Asn-Glu-Lys-Met-Asn-Asn-Asp-Ala-Asp-Ile-His-Phe-Gln-His-Phe-Gly-Glu-Cys-Glu-Tyr. The sequential data were obtained by the analysis of peptides isolated from the tryptic and chymotryptic digest of the carboxymethylated inhibitor. The molecular weight of the inhibitor calculated from its amino acid sequence is 7377.
