Abstract excerpt
The A2-domain of blood coagulation factor VIIIa is non-covalently bound to the A1 and A3 domains via weak intermolecular interactions. Functional instability due to rapid dissociation of A2-domain from the active FVIII in blood presents a major hurdle for the therapeutic applications of FVIIIa to treat Hemophilia-A. To identify the ideal hot-spot residues at the interface of A2 and A1/A3 domains that could...
