The 1.2 A crystal structure of hirustasin reveals the intrinsic flexibility of a family of highly disulphide-bridged inhibitors. Structure Fold.Des., 7:55-63, 1999 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Leech-derived inhibitors have a prominent role in the development of new antithrombotic drugs, because some of them are able to block the blood coagulation cascade. Hirustasin, a serine protease inhibitor from the leech Hirudo medicinalis, binds specifically to tissue kallikrein and possesses structural similarity with antistasin, a potent factor Xa inhibitor from Haementeria officinalis. Although the 2.4 A structure of the hirustasin-kallikrein complex is known, classical methods such as molecular replacement were not successful in solving the structure of free hirustasin.
