Abstract excerpt
The presence of tissue factor is essential for factor VIIa (FVIIa) to reach its full catalytic potential. The previous work in this laboratory demonstrated that substitution of the EGF1 domain of factor VIIa with that of factor IX (FVII((IXegf1))a) results in a substantial decrease in TF-binding affinity and catalytic activity. Supporting simulations of the solution structures of Ca(2+)-bound factor VIIa and...
