The Role of Surfaces in the Mechanism of Blood Coagulation

Abstract

Blood coagulation is brought about by a series of proenzyme — enzyme conversions. Except thrombin, the enzyme that converts fibrinogen into fibrin, the enzymes all serve to activate a specific proenzyme. The reaction sequence is therefore properly called a cascade (1) and has interesting amplifying properties (2).
