X-ray structure of the complex between human alpha thrombin and a thrombin binding aptamer variant (TBA-3Leu), which contains leucyl amide in the side chain of Thy3 at N3.
Thrombin is an enzyme that cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII. Prothrombin is activated on the surface of a phospholipid membrane where factor Xa removes the activation peptide and cleave ...
Thrombin is an enzyme that cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII. Prothrombin is activated on the surface of a phospholipid membrane where factor Xa removes the activation peptide and cleaves the remaining part into light and heavy chains. This domain corresponds to the light chain of thrombin.
