Various peptides related to N-terminal portion of fibrin alpha-chain were synthesized by the solution method and the solid-phase method, and their inhibitory effect on fibrinogen/thrombin clotting was examined. Extension of peptide chain from N-terminal tripeptide decreased the inhibitory effect. The most potent effect was shown by N-terminal decapeptide analog, H-Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro-Pro-Glu-Arg-His-Gln-Ser-NH2.
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.
