Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 93, Issue 2, Page 543-554, February 2025.ABSTRACT Eglin C, a small protein from the medicinal leech, has been long considered a general high‐affinity inhibitor of chymotrypsins and elastases. Here, we demonstrate that eglin C inhibits human chymotrypsin‐like protease (CTRL) weaker by several orders of magnitude than other chymotrypsins.
