title: On the significance of the carbohydrate moieties of bovine prothrombin for clotting activity.
abstract: Purified bovine prothrombin has been treated with different mixtures of glycosidases. Upon incubation of the prothrombin for 30 h with a combination of neuraminidase, alpha- and beta-galactosidase and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase in 4 mM diisopropylfluorophosphate at pH 5.3 and 30 degrees C, about 70% of the carbohydrates were removed without affecting the coagulation activity. All the sialic acid and about half of the mannose, galactose and glucosamine residues were removed by this treatment.
