SummaryThe fibrin clot induced by a minimum amount of thrombin contains two components: one which forms the fibrin polymer spontaneously and another which does not form the polymer except in the presence of thrombin. The latter component produces non-protein nitrogen like fibrinogen itself, when reacting with thrombin. It is reasonable to conclude that the fissile component of the clot is an intermediate product of the fibrin formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
