Complexity of "A-a" knob-hole fibrin interaction revealed by atomic force spectroscopy

During blood vessel injury, fibrinogen is converted to fibrin, a polymer that serves as the structural scaffold of a blood clot. The primary function of fibrin is to withstand the large shear forces in blood and provide mechanical stability to the clot, protecting the wound. Understanding the biophy...
