Abstract excerpt
Fibrinogen Matsumoto V (M-V) is a dysfibrinogen identified in a 52-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematous. The triplet AGG encoding the amino acid residue Aalpha19 was replaced by GGG, resulting in the substitution of Arg-->Gly. Residue Aalpha19 has been shown to be one of the most important amino acids in the so-called 'A' site or alpha-chain knob. The thrombin-catalyzed release of fibrinopeptide A from...
