[Analysis of the fragment D-fibrin monomer complex formation by salting-out fractionation]. 1982

T M Pozdniakova, and V N Rybachuk, and E v Vovk

The fragment D-fibrin monomer complex formation was studied by ammonium sulfate fractionation of the reaction mixtures initially consisting of 0.15-4.00 mg/ml of fragment D and 1.00 mg/ml of fibrin monomer, It was shown that in these mixtures the equilibrium was reached in not more than 15 sec. Fragment D binding to fibrin dependent on the fragment concentration. The Scatchard analysis of this dependence revealed a maximum of fragment D binding to one fibrin molecule of 2.95 +/- 0.28 with a Ka value of (9.04 +/- 1.08) x 10(-5) M-1 (n = 6), thus indicating a strong fragment--fibrin affinity.

D011485	Protein Binding	The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments.	Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D005337	Fibrin	A protein derived from FIBRINOGEN in the presence of THROMBIN, which forms part of the blood clot.	Antithrombin I
D005338	Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products	Soluble protein fragments formed by the proteolytic action of plasmin on fibrin or fibrinogen. FDP and their complexes profoundly impair the hemostatic process and are a major cause of hemorrhage in intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis.

D000645	Ammonium Sulfate	Sulfuric acid diammonium salt. It is used in CHEMICAL FRACTIONATION of proteins.	Sulfate, Ammonium
D046911	Macromolecular Substances	Compounds and molecular complexes that consist of very large numbers of atoms and are generally over 500 kDa in size. In biological systems macromolecular substances usually can be visualized using ELECTRON MICROSCOPY and are distinguished from ORGANELLES by the lack of a membrane structure.
