Conformational Plasticity-Rigidity Axis of the Coagulation Factor VII Zymogen Elucidated by Atomistic Simulations of the N-Terminally Truncated Factor VIIa Protease Domain
The vast majority of coagulation factor VII (FVII), a trypsin-like protease, circulates as the inactive zymogen. Activated FVII (FVIIa) is formed upon proteolytic activation of FVII, where it remains in a zymogen-like state and it is fully activated only when bound to tissue factor (TF). The catalyt...
