Abstract

Evidence that establishes the mechanism of the classes of plant proteinase inhibitors (PIs) is evaluated. Of the eight classes of PIs, six are unique to plants. Except for plant serpins, there is evidence that PIs from all other classes form tight binding complexes with their target proteinases, and that they follow the standard mechanism of inhibition.

Keywords: canonical inhibitor, standard mechanism, inhibition constant
