Ancylostoma caninum anticoagulant peptide 5 (AcAP5) is a potent inhibitor for coagulation factor Xa (FXa). Previous studies show that AcAP5 binds to FXa at the active site, and/or the exosite. The active site-binding contributes to direct blocking of FXa catalytic activity, but the effect of exosite-binding and the underlying mechanism remain unknown. To investigate whether and how the exosite-binding affects FXa...
