    Abstract: Fibrinogen is the immediate precursor of fibrin blood clots. When fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin, it assembles into fibrin polymers through intermolecular interactions where calcium and zinc ions may both be involved. Fibrinogen’s αC domains play a major role in fibrin polymer assembly, and they contain a Zn2+ binding sites based on peptide stud... Show More
