Zusammenfassung

Fibrinogen, the central protein of blood coagulation, is a giant molecule (Henschen 1981). It has a molecular weight of 340,000. The molecule is composed of three pains of non-identical peptide chains, Aα, Bβ and γ)2, and the structure can therefore be described as (Aα, Bβ and γ)2. During coagulation thrombin cleaves two of the peptide chain pairs, i.e., Aα and Bβ, within the amino-terminal parts of these chains. Hereby the fibrinopeptides A and B are released and fibrin, with the structure (α, β, γ)2, is formed. The peptide chains are held together by 29 disulfide bridges. Two of the chain pairs, Bβ and γ, have carbohydrate side chains attached. A schematic representation of the molecule is shown in Fig. 1.
