Abstract excerpt
Functional deficiency of A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)13 causally assists in the pathology of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Previous study showed that the WXXW motif is very important to the enzymatic activity of ADAMTS13. However, the functional role for a single amino acid residue within WXXW motif is still undetermined. Here, Trp390 residue within WXXW...
