1. A compound comprising:
(i) a Kunitz domain peptide that comprises the DX-890 amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:23 or an amino acid sequence that differs by at least one, but no more than five, amino acid alterations from the DX-890 amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:23 and that binds to and inhibits a protease; and
(ii) a plurality of polyethylene glycol moieties covalently attached to at least each of four primary amines of the Kunitz domain peptide, wherein the average molecular weight of each of the moieties is between 3 kDa and 12 kDa.
