      Alkaline protease aeruginolysin (APR) is an important virulence factor in the evasion of the immune system by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). The P. aeruginosa genome also encodes the highly potent and specifc APR peptide inhibitor (APRin). However, the structural reason for the signifcant inhibition has not been revealed. Using ab initio molecular simulations, we here investigated the ...
