Serpin Inhibition Mechanism: A Delicate Balance between Native Metastable State and Polymerization
The serpins (serine proteinase inhibitors) are structurally similar but functionally diverse proteins that fold into a conserved structure and employ a unique suicide substrate-like inhibitory mechanism. Serpins play absolutely critical role in the control of proteases involved in the inflammatory,...
