    Serine proteinase neutrophil elastase plays a principle role in inflammatory processes. Therefore, explanation of the selective elastase inhibitors action mechanisms attracts the great interest of the modern biomedicine and bioinformatics. Currently, there are many investigations devoted to search of polypeptide agents effectively suppressing the inflammatory process. Recent studies have shown that some Kunitz type serine proteinase inhibitors may render an anti-inflammatory effect. Here we represent model of complexes of sea anemone Heteractis crispa Kunitz polypeptides (HCPs) with human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and discuss driving forces of the enzyme-inhibitor interaction. Proposed models allow for the first time to clarify the molecular mechanism of these polypeptides anti-inflammatory action.
