Trypsin inhibitory loop is an excellent lead structure to design serine protease inhibitors and antimicrobial peptides

The disulfide-bridged hendecapeptide ( CWTKSIPPKPC) loop, derived from an amphibian skin peptide, is found to have strong trypsin inhibitory capability. This loop, called the trypsin inhibitory loop ( TIL), appears to be the smallest serine protease inhib
