Popis: The paper is concerned with studies in formation of monomeric fibrin (fm) complexes with fragment D (D) of fibrinogen and dimer D (DD) of stabilized fibrin. The complexes are shown to be essentially different. The fm-D complexes are unstable, their composition is a function of D concentration in the mixture, the ultimate molar D/fm ratio is equal to 3. The fm-DD complexes are quite stable, their composition is constant: the molar DD/fm ratio is equal to 1. In mixtures containing fm, DD and different amounts of D complexes of different composition are formed but the total number of D-units in them approaches 3. A model is suggested showing interaction of fm molecules in protofibril formation with allowance for the retention of binding centres which provide the lateral link between protofibrils.
