Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: By site-directed mutagenesis of recombinant receptor fragments, we have previously identified residue lysine59 of the platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) as being critical for its interaction with the synthetic ligand collagen-related peptide (CRP) and the inhibitory phage antibody 10B12. Lysine59 is proposed to lie on the apical surface of the receptor near the linker joining the two...
