Abstract excerpt
The interaction of alpha-thrombin with Ala48-hirudin, Ala48-hirudin1-47, and Ala48-hirudin48-65 was analyzed. Mutations at Pro48 were found to cause only slight changes in the kon (human: 3.1 +/- 0.3 x 10(8) M-1 s-1; bovine: 1.03 +/- 0.3 x 10(8) M-1 s-1) and koff (human: 0.4 +/- 0.2 x 10(-3) s-1; bovine: 2.9 +/- 0.4 x 10(-3) s-1) rate constants for the formation of the thrombin-hirudin complex. The amino-terminal...
