Abstract excerpt
Structural studies on a hereditary abnormal prothrombin, prothrombin Salakta, have been performed to identify the difference responsible for its reduced fibrinogen clotting activity and its reduced esterase activity. Amino acid composition and sequence analyses of a peptide isolated from a lysylendopeptidase digest of the abnormal thrombin indicated that Glu-466 had been replaced by Ala. This amino acid...
