1TCP - PubMed Abstract: 
Tick anticoagulant peptide (TAP) is a potent and selective 60-amino acid inhibitor of the serine protease Factor Xa (fXa), the penultimate enzyme in the blood coagulation cascade. The structural features of TAP responsible for its remarkable specificity for fXa are unknown, but the binding to its target appears to be unique ...
