title: Interaction of EGLIN C variants with the extended subsites of the precursor processing proteases.
abstract: Potent inhibitors of the Kex2/furin family precursor processing proteases were developed by randomizing adventitious contact sites and screening for optimized affinity using inhibition assays in 96-well format [1]. In this review, the binding interactions of the developed inhibitors will be examined in light of the three dimensional structures of Kex2 and furin [2-4].
