Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of the substrate and inhibitor specificity of factor Xa, the serine proteinase of the prothrombinase complex, was investigated by constructing two mutants of human antithrombin (HAT) in which the reactive site loop of the serpin from the P4-P4' site was replaced with the corresponding residues of the two factor Xa cleavage sites in prothrombin (HAT/Proth-1 and HAT/Proth-2). These mutants...
