diagnostics
concentrations of active alpha-thrombin, tissue factor-factor VIIa-factor Xa ternary complex, and intrinsic tenase complex with factor X, at specific time windows, can be used to classify acute coronary syndromes to an accuracy of about 87.2%. Such a combination can be used to efficiently assay the coagulation system

comparison of anticoagulation response to thrombin inhibitors ximelagatran and warfarin in rats on a normal diet to those on a vitamin K deficient diet. Ximelagatran and warfarin increase prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and ecarin clotting time in rats on normal diet. Vitamin K deficient diet alone causes modest increases in prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and ecarin clotting time. The anticoagulant activity of both ximelagatran and warfarin is significantly greater in rats on vitamin K deficient diet compared to those on normal diet. Thrombin activity is reduced by both ximelagatran and warfarin to 58% and 44%, respectively, in rats on normal diet. Thrombin activity is virtually abolished by both drugs in rats on vitamin K deficient diet
synthesis
additional information
a modified in situ proteolysis approach is applied to specifically remove the His tag by thrombin cleavage during crystallization screening trials. This improves the morphology and diffraction quality of the crystals and allowes the acquisition of high-resolution diffraction data and structure solution
