Neutron and X-ray scattering studies on the human complement protein properdin provide an analysis of the thrombospondin repeat.

Properdin is a regulatory glycoprotein of the alternative pathway of the complement system of immune defense. It is responsible for the stabilization of the C3 convertase complex formed between C3b and the Bb fragment of factor B. Neutron and X-ray solution scattering experiments were performed on t...
