Abstract excerpt
Thrombin exists in two allosteric forms, slow (S) and fast (F), that recognize natural substrates and inhibitors with significantly different affinities. Because under physiologic conditions the two forms are almost equally populated, investigation of thrombin function must address the contribution from the S and F forms and the molecular origin of their differential recognition of ligands. Using a panel of 79...
