A proteinaceous inhibitor of the digestive enzyme alpha-amylase (1,4-a-D-Glucan glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1) has been isolated and purified from kidney beans Phaseolus vulgaris. It is a glycoprotein and it specifically inhibits corresponding plant, bacterial and fungal enzymes. Maximum inhibitory activity, against alpha-amylase, occurs at 37 C and pH 5.5. The inhibitor has a molecular weight of 45,000-50,000. Similar alpha-amylase inhibitors also occur in wheat, rye and some other beans.
