The structure of human microplasmin in complex with textilinin-1, an aprotinin-like inhibitor from the Australian brown snake.

Textilinin-1 is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor from Australian brown snake venom. Its ability to potently and specifically inhibit human plasmin (K(i) = 0.44 nM) makes it a potential therapeutic drug as a systemic anti-bleeding agent.
