== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Protease inhibitors from plants play major role in defensive mechanism against various pathogenic organisms. AMTIN from the tubers of Alocasia macrorrhiza has been purified and characterized as multi-functional Kunitz type protease inhibitor. AMTIN is varied from other KTIs by having three different loops specific for binding to trypsin/amylase and subtilisin that are located approximately 30A away from one another as evidenced from crystallographic efforts. Biochemical studies on AMTIN reveal simultaneous binding of protease/amylase and have been cross validated using in-silico tools to model Amylase - AMTIN - Trypsin complex without any steric clashes. Apart from multi functionality, the remarkable structural and functional stability of AMTIN at high temperature, presence of many phosphorylation, myristoylation and glycosylation sites and molecular docking studies with dengue viral protease (NS2B-NS3) makes this protein interesting. Hence AMTIN can be considered as a template to design effective antivirals against dengue virus.
