Background:

  • Serpins (serine protease inhibitors) are known for their ability to bind various ligands.
  • Ligand binding regulates serpin inhibitory properties, localization, and biological functions.
  • Known ligands include glycosaminoglycans, DNA, extracellular matrix proteins, and hormones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize approaches for identifying serpin ligands.
  • To review methods for characterizing ligand-serpin interactions.
  • To assess the influence of ligand binding on serpin activity and structure.
