Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
(2S,3S)-3-(N-[(S)-1-[N-(4-guanidinobutyl)carbamoyl]3-methylbutyl]carbamoyl)oxirane-2-carboxylic acid i.e. E-64, complete immediate and irreversible inhibition at 10 mM after 30 min incubation Asclepias curassavica
E-64

Asclepias curassavica
additional information 1,10-phenantroline and pepstatine do not affect the activity of asclepain cII; activity of asclepain cII is inhibited by cysteine proteases inhibitors like E-64, but not by any other protease inhibitors such as 1,10-phenantroline, phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, and pepstatine Asclepias curassavica
phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride incubation with 100 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride for 30 min decreases activity to 63% of the initial value, but inhibition is partially reverted when 12 mM cysteine is added to the reaction mixture Asclepias curassavica
