Ca binding of rat fibrinogen and fibrin(ogen) degradation products
article
The authors studied the binding of Ca to rat fibrinogen and plasmic fibrin(ogen) degradation products by means of equilibrium dialysis with special reference to the protective effect of Ca2+ in the plasmic degradation of fibrinogen. Direct binding studies demonstrate that rat fibrinogen and the plasmic degradation products D(cate) and D-dimer strongly bind Ca2+ and that this binding in D(cate) and D-dimer is correlated with a protective effect against further plasmic degradation.
