Abstract excerpt
Complex formation between serine protease factor VIIa (VIIa) and tissue factor (TF) dramatically enhances the catalytic activity of VIIa, leading to the initiation of extrinsic blood coagulation. The recently determined crystal structure of the complex formed between VIIa and the extracellular domain of TF has revealed in detail the interacting surfaces of the two molecules. Mutational and biochemical studies...
