Abstract:Fibrinogen reacted with thrombin at pH 6.3 in shear flow fields varying from 0 to 150 sec-1 gives insoluble fibrin at differing ratio, with a minimum rate near 50 sec-1. The relative rate of release of A and B peptides is also altered by the shear flow field. The release or B peptide is faster in stagnant solutions than in the higher shear flow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
