title: A model from electron microscopy for the molecular structure of fibrinogen and fibrin.
abstract: The overall architecture of the fibrinogen molecule and aspects of its packing to form fibrin have been derived from a study of electron microscope images of ordered arrays. The molecule, of length 450 A, is seen in more detail than the Hall-Slayter model and is made up of seven globular domains connected by rod-like segments.
