Elaterin
Definition:
Example Sentences:
Elaterium
Definition:
(n.) A cathartic substance obtained, in the form of yellowish or greenish cakes, as the dried residue of the juice of the wild or squirting cucumber (Ecballium agreste, formerly called Momordica Elaterium).
Example Sentences:

(2) The synthesis of a 28-residue peptide isolated from Ecballium elaterium of the Cucurbitaceae family which strongly inhibits trypsin activities (Ka = 8.10(-11)M), using BOP as the coupling reagent in a solid phase procedure is presented.
(3) The solution conformation of synthetic Ecballium elaterium trypsin inhibitor II, a 28-residue peptide with 3 disulfide bridges, has been studied by 1H 2D NMR measurements.
(4) Several protease inhibitors were found in the seeds of a Cucurbitacea, Ecballium elaterium, and were separated from one another by affinity and molecular sieve chromatography.
