title: The hirudin-binding site of human alpha-thrombin. Identification of lysyl residues which participate in the combining site of hirudin-thrombin complex.
abstract: Chemical modification of 6 lysyl residues within the B-chain of alpha-thrombin was decreased on binding of equal molar hirudin, a thrombin-specific inhibitor. They are Lys-B21 (87% protected), Lys-B52 (80%), Lys-B65 (greater than 95%), Lys-B106 (71%), Lys-B107 (71%), and Lys-B154 (80%). The data suggest that these lysyl residues are situated within or in close proximity to the hirudin-binding site of human alpha-thrombin.
