Factor VIIa/tissue factor is a key serine protease for initiation of blood coagulation. It is seen as promising target for the developing new anticoagulant drugs. X-ray crystal structures of human factor VIIa/tissue factor in complex with peptide mimetic inhibitors revealed important interactions for the selective inhibition of factor VIIa/tissue factor. These observations should provide some important information for a design of new factor VIIa selective inhibitors.
