Abstract excerpt
Plasmin, the enzyme responsible for degradation of fibrin in blood clots and thus thrombolysis, is normally formed when its zymogen plasminogen is activated by cleavage of the Arg561-Val562 bond by specific plasminogen activators. We have altered the activation characteristics of plasminogen by s...
