Abstract excerpt
Heparin regulates the inhibitory activity of antithrombin. It has been proposed that residues P15 and P14 are expelled from beta-sheet A of antithrombin by heparin binding, permitting better interaction of the reactive center loop with factor Xa. We have made a P14 antithrombin variant (S380E) to create an activated inhibitory form of antithrombin in which P14 is already expelled from beta-sheet A. S380E...
