Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe crystallographic structure of a novel trypsin inhibitor (CTI) from Copaifera langsdorffii is reported. The structure was solved by MIRAS procedure and refined to a crystallographic residual of 17.3% (R(free) = 20.3%) at 1.8 A resolution. Two isomorphous derivatives were obtained by quick cryo-soaking approach. CTI is the first structure of a member of Kunitz (STI) family formed by two noncovalently bound polypeptide chains and only one disulfide bridge. A standard Kunitz-type inhibitor has a single polypeptide chain and two disulfide bridges. Structural features granting CTI high inhibitory activity are discussed.
