Abstract excerpt
The factor VIII (FVIII) crystal structure suggests a possible bonding interaction of His(281) (A1 domain) with Ser(524) (A2 domain), although the resolution of the structure (∼4 Å) does not firmly establish this bonding. To establish that side chains of these residues participate in an interdomain bond, we prepared and examined the functional properties of a residue swap variant (H281S/S524H) where His(281) and...
