Abstract excerpt
The binding of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) to serine proteinases, such as tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), is mediated by the exosite interactions between the surface-exposed variable region-1, or 37-loop, of the proteinase and the distal reactive center loop (RCL) of PAI-1. Although the contribution of such interactions to the inhibitory...
