Abstract excerpt
The integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) plays an important role in platelet function, and abnormalities of this protein result in a serious bleeding disorder, known as Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Although crystallographic data exist for the related integrin alpha(V)beta(3), to date, there are no high resolution structures of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) available in the literature. Therefore, it is still unclear how specific...
