Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Coagulation factor XII is a serine protease that is important for kinin generation and blood coagulation, cleaving the substrates plasma kallikrein and FXI. OBJECTIVE: To investigate FXII zymogen activation and substrate recognition by determining the crystal structure of the FXII protease domain. METHODS AND RESULTS: A series of recombinant FXII protease constructs were characterized by measurement...
