Analysis of Trypsin inhibitor (TIP) by Raman Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-ST-0020-WXH)

Introduction

Natural trypsin Inhibitors also known as serine protease inhibitors (serpins) are the largest and most diverse family of protease inhibitors. Serpins control the activation and catabolism of proteins by the inhibition of serine proteases in vivo.
There are four natural sources of trypsin inhibitors: bovine pancreas, ovomucoid, soybean, and lima bean. Each inhibitor acts as a competitive substrate analog and binds with its serine protease to form an inactive complex, therefore rendering the protease inactive.
