“…In a previous study, several proteins, including a glucanase, a chitinase, an antifungal cyclophyllin-like protein, and three antifungal peptides designated cicerin, arietin, and cicearin were isolated from the chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) by Chu et al [3]. The antifungal protein, designated 'chickpea cyclophilin-like antifungal protein', has been isolated from seeds of the chickpea [4]. It possesses a molecular weight of 18kDa and an N-terminal sequence with resemblance to cyclophilin.…”
