Abstract
The present invention relates to serine protease inhibitors having a P site binding moiety and a divalent cation(s) chelating moiety which are pre-prepared as divalent cation(s) complexes or combined with the serine protease in the presence of divalent cation(s) and methods for identifying and using the inhibitors. The compounds are shown to have high inhibitory activity when complexed to divalent cation(s) and are useful in various processes associated with serine protease isolation and inhibition.
