Abstract excerpt
Through a unique but poorly understood mechanism, streptokinase (SK) interacts with human plasminogen to generate an "activator complex" that efficiently cleaves substrate plasminogen molecules. Previous studies have suggested that lysine residues in SK may play a role in the binding and function of the activator complex. To investigate this hypothesis, 10 different lysine residues in the plasminogen binding...
