Abstract
A new cysteine protease inhibitor, named kojistatin A, was found in th e extract of a solid culture of Aspergillus oryzae ATCC 20386. The str ucture of kojistatin A was determined on the basis of chemical and spe ctroscopic evidence. Kojistatin A specifically inhibited cysteine prot eases such as papain, ficin, and bromelain.
