Abstract excerpt
We used laser tweezers-based force spectroscopy to measure the binding strength between fibrinogen molecules covalently bound to latex beads and either wild-type alphaIIbbeta3 molecules or alphaIIbbeta3 molecules containing the transmembrane domain mutations beta3 G708N or alphaIIb G972N expresse...
