Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that the substitution of the autolysis loop (residues 143-154 in chymotrypsin numbering) of APC with the corresponding loop of trypsin (APC-Tryp 143-154) has no influence on the proteolytic activity of the protease toward fVa, however, this substitution increases the reactivity of APC with plasma inhibitors so that the mutant exhibits no anticoagulant activity in plasma. To further...
