The data shown here is a representative of the purification protocol for PnBBI from three independent biological replicates*. a One TI unit is equal to 40-60% inhibition of trypsin enzyme activity by PnBBI. bSpecific inhibitory activity is defined as the number of TIU per milligram of PnBBI.*data provided as Supplementary Data Sheet 3.
