Abstract excerpt
Ligand binding to integrin alphaIIbbeta3 is a key event of thrombus formation. The propeller domain of the alphaIIb subunit has been implicated in ligand binding. Recently, the ligand binding site of the alphaV propeller was determined by crystal structure analysis. However, the structural basis of ligand recognition by the alphaIIb propeller remains to be determined. In this study, we conducted site-directed...
