Alkaline protease inhibitor: a novel class of antifungal proteins against phytopathogenic fungi.
TL;DR: This is the first report on API as a potential biocontrol agent against phytopathogenic fungi and appears to be associated with its ability to inhibit the fungal serine alkaline protease(s), which is indispensable for its growth.

Novel bifunctional alkaline protease inhibitor: protease inhibitory activity as the biochemical basis of antifungal activity.
TL;DR: Experimental evidences presented here serve to implicate that the antifungal activity of API is a consequence of its protease inhibitory activity.

Evidence for tryptophan in proximity to histidine and cysteine as essential to the active site of an alkaline protease.
TL;DR: The presence, microenvironment, and proximity of an essential Trp with the essential His and Cys residues in the active site of an alkaline protease have been demonstrated for the first time using chemical modification, chemo-affinity labeling, and fluorescence spectroscopy.
