Abstract excerpt
In factor IX residues 199-204 encompass one of six surface loops bordering its substrate-binding groove. To investigate the contribution of this loop to human factor IX function, a series of chimeric factor IX variants was constructed, in which residues 199-204 were replaced by the corresponding sequence of factor VII, factor X, or prothrombin. The immunopurified and activated chimeras were indistinguishable from...
