title: Determining the crystal structure of fibrinogen.
abstract: Summary. I have enjoyed reading previous historical sketches that have appeared in Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, and especially those by Ted Tuddenham on factor VIII and Bjorn Dahlback on activated protein C resistance. Like those authors, I have tried to capture some of the excitement-as well as the disappointments-that occurred along the way to a long-term goal.
