Abstract excerpt
Essential to hemostasis is the interaction of factor IXa with factor VIIIa. Recent studies indicate that helix-330 in the protease domain of factor IXa provides a critical binding site for factor VIIIa. Although weaker interactions cannot be ruled out, a primary role of the EGF1 domain of factor IXa in this context may be to serve as a spacer in properly positioning the factor IXa protease domain for optimal...
