Tandem Multimerization Can Enhance the Structural Homogeneity and Antifungal Activity of the Silkworm Protease Inhibitor BmSPI39

Tandem Multimerization Can Enhance the Structural Homogeneity and Antifungal Activity of the Silkworm Protease Inhibitor BmSPI39

Previous studies have shown that BmSPI39, a serine protease inhibitor of silkworm, can inhibit virulence-related proteases and the conidial germination of insect pathogenic fungi, thereby enhancing the antifungal capacity of <i>Bombyx mori</i>. The recombinant BmSPI39 expressed in <i&...
