Isolation, cloning and structural characterisation of boophilin, a multifunctional Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitor from the cattle tick. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Inhibitors of coagulation factors from blood-feeding animals display a wide variety of structural motifs and inhibition mechanisms. We have isolated a novel inhibitor from the cattle tick Boophilus microplus, one of the most widespread parasites of farm ...

Cysteine proteinase inhibitors: purification and gene isolation [PDF]
, 1989 Genetic engineering has produced a transgenic insect- resistant plant which produces a serine protease inhibitor (Hilder et al., 1987). More insects can be targetted if a plant can be made to produce thiol protease inhibitors.

Processing of Neutrophil α-Defensins Does Not Rely on Serine Proteases In Vivo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The α-defensins, human neutrophil peptides (HNPs) are the predominant antimicrobial peptides of neutrophil granules. They are synthesized in promyelocytes and myelocytes as proHNPs, but only processed in promyelocytes and stored as mature HNPs in ...

Differential in vitro and in vivo effect of barley cysteine and serine protease inhibitors on phytopathogenic microorganisms [PDF]
, 2011 Protease inhibitors from plants have been involved in defence mechanisms against pests and pathogens. Phytocystatins and trypsin/α-amylase inhibitors are two of the best characterized protease inhibitor families in plants.

Nitrogen containing heterocycles as potential inhibitors of serine proteinase [PDF]
, 1991 Some nitrogen heterocycles such as pteridines and quinazolines undergo "covalent hydration" - the reversible addition of water across a C=N bond. Alcohols and other nucleophiles can also add across this C=N bond.

Biochemical characterization of Anopheles gambiae SRPN6, a malaria parasite invasion marker in mosquitoes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Serine proteinase inhibitors of the serpin family are well known as negative regulators of hemostasis, thrombolysis and innate immune responses. Additionally, non-inhibitory serpins serve functions as chaperones, hormone transporters, or anti-angiogenic ...

The use of phenyl-Sepharose for the affinity purification of proteinases [PDF]
, 1993 Phenyl-Sepharose is most often used as an adsorbent for hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC). We report on its effective use for the affinity purification of some extracellular thermostable proteinases from bacterial sources.
