Amastatin [(2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoyl-L-valyl-L-valyl-L- aspartic acid] and bestatin [(2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoyl-L-leucine] are slow-binding, competitive inhibitors of aminopeptidase M (AP-M) with net inhibition constants (Ki) of 1.9 X 10(-8) and 4.1 X 10(-6) M, respectively. The effect of inhibitor structure on net Ki and on
