Abstract excerpt
Coagulation factor VIIa (FVIIa) belongs to the chymotrypsin family of S1 peptidases, whose members require the cleavage of at least one internal peptide bond to attain an active conformation. FVIIa also requires association with tissue factor (TF) to attain full catalytic competency. Without this, FVIIa has very low activity toward peptide and physiologic substrates. Reregistration of beta strands has been...
