The binding parameters of HWTX-XI and its mutants to trypsin were measured by Isother Titration Calormetry. The experiments were performed in 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, at 25°C. Errors in N and ΔH values are ±10%, and in Kd values are ±30%. The IC50 values of HWTX-XI and its mutants effect on Kv1.1 channels were carried out in X. laevis oocytes. Errors in IC50 values are ±10%.

–, no effect detected. a a potent trypsin inhibitor purified from bovine pancreas [15]; b a potent blocker for Kv1.1 purified from the venom of Dendroaspis polylepis [25]; c substitute for 1-IDT-3 in HWTX-XI; d adding two residues ahead of the sequence of HWTX-XI.
