Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Factor (F)XI can be activated by proteases, including thrombin and FXIIa. The interactions of these enzymes with FXI are transient in nature and therefore difficult to study. OBJECTIVES: To identify the binding interface between thrombin and FXI and understand the dynamics underlying FXI activation. METHODS: Crosslinking mass spectrometry was used to localize the binding interface of thrombin on FXI....
