Abstract excerpt
Although the contribution of basic residues of exosite-1 to the catalytic function of thrombin has been studied extensively, their role in the specificity of prothrombin recognition by factor Xa in the prothrombinase complex (factor Xa, factor Va, phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylserine vesicles, and Ca2+) has not been examined. In this study, we prepared several mutants of prethrombin-1 (prothrombin lacking Gla...
