Abstract:The reaction between prothrombin and staphylocoagulase is studied.a. Optimal amounts of the active reaction product (coagulase-thrombin) are found when equimolar amounts of prothrombin and staphylocoagulase are added together.b. The molecular weight of coagulase-thrombin equals the sum of the molecular weights of staphylocoagulase and prothrombin, both when estimated by gelfiltration and by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.c. The amino acid composition of coagulase-thrombin is not in contrast with the su… Show more
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.
