Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) belongs to the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) protein superfamily. Serpins are unique in that their native forms are not the most thermodynamically stable conformation; instead, a more stable, latent conformation exists. During the transition to the l...
