Chemical compound
Statine is a gamma amino acid that occurs twice in the sequence of pepstatin , a protease inhibitor that is active against pepsin and other acid proteases . It is thought to be responsible for the inhibitory activity of pepstatin because it mimics the tetrahedral transition state of peptide catalysis.
