Abstract excerpt
The structural flexibility of antithrombin is essential for its molecular trapping mechanism but also makes it vulnerable to even minor changes affecting its conformational stability, which influences hemostasis significantly. The conformational transformation of this serpin has been poorly investigated in biologic samples because available immunologic methods hardly differentiate between different conformations...
