Abstract excerpt
The fibrin specificity of tissue-type plasminogen activator can be increased by mutagenesis within at least four sites in the protease domain. These sites include residue I276, the new N-terminus formed by conversion to a two-chain structure, residues on either side of the active site cleft, KHRR 296-299 or DDD 364-366, a charged surface involved in fibrin interactions, which includes residues H432, R434, D460,...
