Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Activated thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFIa) plays a pivotal role in fibrinolysis. TAFIa activity is regulated by a temperature-dependent instability. This instability has not only complicated the study of structure-function relationships of TAFIa but has also prevented the crystallization of TAFIa. Furthermore, the TAFIa instability has severely compromised the development of...
