A two-step fibrinogen--fibrin transition in blood coagulation

B Blombäck et al. Nature. .

Abstract

The kinetics of the thrombin-catalysed release of fibrino-peptides A and B from human fibrinogen have been investigated and a mechanism correlating the release of fibrinopeptides to fibrin formation is presented. The sequential release of fibrinopeptides results in sequential activation of two sets of polymerisation sites.
