Tracking oxidation-induced alterations in fibrin clot formation by NMR-based methods by Lau, Wai-Hoe, White, Nathan J., Yeo, Tsin Wen, Gruen, Russell L., Pervushin, Konstantin

“…However, experimental evidence explaining how HOCl oxidation impairs fibrinogen structure and function has not been demonstrated. We utilized polymerization studies and two dimensional-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (2D-NMR) to investigate the hypothesis that HOCl oxidation alters fibrinogen conformation and T₂ relaxation time of water protons in the fibrin gels. …”
