Popis: |
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large glycoprotein in the blood secreted from endothelial cells lining the blood vessel and activation of VWF leads to formation of VWF-platelet complexes or thrombi. Here authors use single-molecule force measurement, X-ray crystallography and functional measurements to monitor the activation of VWF via mechanical unfolding of the autoinhibitory module (AIM). |
