“The presence of heparin accelerated inhibition of cathepsin L by both serpins, and in the case of SCCA-1, heparin increased the second order inhibition rate constant from 5.4 × 105 to >108, indicating a rate enhancement of at least 180-fold.”

“We show that heparin reduces the stability of the pro form of cathepsin L at pH 5 by binding to a putative heparin binding motif (BBXB) in the pro-domain.”

“Rheological analysis has shown that spray-dried UFH and UFH cospray-dried with L-leucine significantly (p < 0.05) reduce the elasticity and yield stress of CF sputum.”
“It is also suggested that the strong inhibitory action of heparin on the interaction of the L variant with cells may be another factor aiding its rapid spread in vivo.”
