Crystalline Structure of Heparin

  • Chapter
Heparin

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 52))

Abstract

Current trends in molecular biology argue convincingly in favor of a precise relation between biologic function and shape of macromolecules. This is especially relevant in the case of heparin; the evidence points to a specific inhibition by this highly charged polysaccharide of protein molecules involved in blood coagulation. Thus, information concerning the molecular structure and shape of the heparin molecule should be considered as an essential step forward in understanding the biologic mechanisms involved in coagulation.
