Bowman-Birk protease Inhibitor (BBI) binding peptides, and uses thereof in the separation, detection or purification of BBI.

摘要

Peptide probes against the soybean Bowman-Birk Inhibitor (BBI) are described. Also described are uses of the peptide probes of the invention for detecting, separating, or purifying BBI from complex protein mixtures such as soy whey, and as an affinity separation matrix comprising a peptide probe of the invention immobilised to a support such as a magnetic bead.
