Potent Anticoagulant Aptamer Directed against Factor IXa Blocks Macromolecular Substrate Interaction [PDF]
An aptamer targeting factor IXa has been evaluated in animal models and several clinical studies as a potential antithombotic therapy. We elucidate the molecular mechanism by which this aptamer acts as an anticoagulant.

Localization of the Heparin Binding Exosite of Factor IXa [PDF]
Factor IXa (FIXa) is known to have a binding site for heparin that has not been mapped by a mutagenesis study. By homology modeling based on structural data, we identified eight basic residues in the catalytic domain of FIXa that can potentially bind to heparin.

Higgsing M2 to D2 with gravity: N=6 chiral supergravity from topologically gauged ABJM theory [PDF]
We present the higgsing of three-dimensional N=6 superconformal ABJM type theories coupled to conformal supergravity, so called topologically gauged ABJM theory, thus providing a gravitational extension of previous work on the relation between N M2 and N

Metabolic syndrome influences cardiac gene expression pattern at the transcript level in male ZDF rats [PDF]
Background: Metabolic syndrome (coexisting visceral obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension) is a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, however, its effect on cardiac gene expression pattern is unclear ...

A 60-year time series analyses of the upwelling along the Portuguese Coast [PDF]
Coastal upwelling has a significant local impact on marine coastal environment and on marine biology, namely fisheries. This study aims to evaluate climate and environmental changes in upwelling trends between 1950 and 2010.

Two-Loop Partition Function in the Planar Plane-Wave Matrix Model [PDF]
We perform two independent calculations of the two-loop partition function for the large N 't Hooft limit of the plane-wave matrix model, conjectured to be dual to the decoupled little string theory of a single spherical type IIA NS5-brane.

Proteolytic interactions of factor IXa with human factor VIII and factor VIIIa [PDF]
Abstract Factor IXa was shown to inactivate both factor VIII and factor VIIIa in a phospholipid-dependent reaction that could be blocked by an antifactor IX antibody. Factor IXa-catalyzed inactivation correlated with proteolytic cleavages within the A1 subunit of factor VIIIa and within the heavy chain (contiguous A1-A2-B domains) of ...

The Role of Factor IXa and Factor VIII in the Activation of Factor X. [PDF]
Factor IXa and factor VIII participate in the middle phase of blood coagulation. These two proteins convert factor X to factor Xa in the presence of calcium ions and phospholipid. The coagulant activity of factor VIII is increased 50-100 fold by the addition of thrombin, and this activity is stabilized in the presence of CaCl2.

Inhibition of human factor IXa by human antithrombin
A procedure is presented for the purification of Factor IX from human plasma. The final product is homogeneous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis and sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, it is completely free of other coagulation component activities.
