To reveal the relationships between the activity of trypsin and its structural change, changes of trypsin in biological activity induced by complex with Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitor (BBTI), Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor (KSTI, type I-S) and tea polyphenol (TP) were detected and their relationship with the secondary structure changes were studied by far-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectra measurement. BBTI and KSTI were also irradiated by ultrasonic to compare the effects on trypsin. The rank was found as KSTI > BBTI > TP according to their inhibitory activities against trypsin. Yet BBTI exhibited much stronger resistance against ultrasonic irradiation than KSTI. BBTI, KSTI and TP were found inactivate trypsin by modifying the secondary structures and far-UV spectrum of trypsin. Complex of trypsin with ultrasonic-treated BBTI and native BBTI and KSTI exhibited the similar modified effects in secondary structures, decrease of α-helix and β-turn content, increase of β-sheet content and unchanged random coil content basically. But complex of trypsin with ultrasonic-treated KSTI exhibited less modified effects because of inactivation by ultrasonic irradiation. The changes of trypsin in secondary structure induced by complex with TP showed different from those induced by complex with BBTI and KSTI, increase of α-helix content, decrease of random coil content and unchanged β-sheet and β-turn content basically.
