Semi-automated thrombin dynamics applying the ST Genesia thrombin generation assay [PDF]
BackgroundThe haemostatic balance is an equilibrium of pro- and anticoagulant factors that work synergistically to prevent bleeding and thrombosis.

Reference values for thrombin dynamics in platelet rich plasma
Thrombin generation (TG) is a better determinant of the overall function of the hemostatic system than routinely used clotting time-based assays and can be studied more in detail by thrombin dynamics analysis.

Thrombin activity confinement and dense granule release drive the dynamics of arterial thrombus. [PDF]
The mechanisms driving spatial heterogeneity of arterial thrombus and its three-stage dynamics are poorly understood. To investigate the potential principles regulating the size of the thrombus core and shell we developed a 3D continuum computational ...

Serine protease dynamics revealed by NMR analysis of the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex [PDF]
Serine proteases catalyze a multi-step covalent catalytic mechanism of peptide bond cleavage. It has long been assumed that serine proteases including thrombin carry-out catalysis without significant conformational rearrangement of their stable two-β ...

Dynamics Govern Specificity of a Protein-Protein Interface: Substrate Recognition by Thrombin. [PDF]
Biomolecular recognition is crucial in cellular signal transduction. Signaling is mediated through molecular interactions at protein-protein interfaces. Still, specificity and promiscuity of protein-protein interfaces cannot be explained using simplistic

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally. In 2012, 17.5 million people died of CVDs, of which 43% were caused by ischemic heart disease and 38% by stroke. Thrombosis plays a pivotal role in the development of ischemic heart disease and stroke. Therefore, the haemostatic system has been one of the main targets of prevent

Structure and behavior of human α-thrombin upon ligand recognition: thermodynamic and molecular dynamics studies. [PDF]
Thrombin is a serine proteinase that plays a fundamental role in coagulation. In this study, we address the effects of ligand site recognition by alpha-thrombin on conformation and energetics in solution.

Personalized modulation of coagulation factors using a thrombin dynamics model to treat trauma-induced coagulopathy [PDF]
Current trauma-induced coagulopathy resuscitation protocols use slow laboratory measurements, rules-of-thumb, and clinician gestalt to administer large volumes of uncharacterized, non-tailored blood products.

Prothrombin conversion accelerates with increasing age in women but not in men: findings from the Moli-sani Cohort Study [PDF]
Background: The thrombin dynamics method has been used as an add-on analysis method for the thrombin generation test over the past years to study the balance between pro- and anticoagulant pathways.

Deciphering the coagulation profile through the dynamics of thrombin activity [PDF]
AbstractThrombosis has proven to be extremely difficult to predict. Measuring the generation of thrombin is a very sensitive method to detect changes in the hemostatic system. We developed a method based on the generation of thrombin to further fingerprint hemostasis, which we have named thrombin dynamics. Via this method we are able to exactly measure
