    • Abstract:
      Reports a mode of high-affinity binding in which a zinc2+ ion is tetrahedrally coordinated between two chelating nitrogens of BABIM and two active site residues, His 57 and Ser 195. What is implied by the distinct Zn2+ coordination geometry; The suggestion that small molecule inhibitors of serine proteases with high affinity could be used as scaffolds from which to develop drugs selective for protease targets; Methods.
