1QYY - PubMed Abstract: 
The interaction between platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib alpha and von Willebrand factor (VWF) is essential for thrombus formation, leading to the arrest of bleeding. The N-terminal domain of GP Ib alpha, which contains the binding sites for VWF and alpha-thrombin, crystallized in the tetragonal space group P4(3) with one molecule in the asymmetric unit ...
