Modulation of the Enzymatic Activity of α-Thrombin by Polyanions: Consequences on Intrinsic Activation of Factor V and Factor VIII
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The polyanions heparin and dermatan sulfate catalyze alpha-thrombin inhibition and can delay the onset of factor VIII and factor V necessary for intrinsic prothrombin activation to begin in plasma. These polyanions bind alpha-thrombin at its anion-binding exosite(s), structural domain(s) occupancy of which may alter the properties of the fibrin(ogen) recognition exosite of alpha-thrombin. We compared how such four polyanions influenced factor VIII and factor V activation during intrinsic coagulation. A pentasaccharide with high affinity for antithrombin III and the C-terminal dodecapeptide fragment of hirudin (hirugen) which occupy the anion-binding and fibrin(ogen) recognition exosites of alpha-thrombin, respectively, could not significantly inhibit factor VIII and factor V activation. In contrast, heparin and a bis-lactobionic acid, both of which catalyzed alpha-thrombin inhibition, could effectively inhibit factor VIII and factor V activation. These results suggest that occupancy of fibrin(ogen) or anion-binding exosites by itself does not provide a necessary and sufficient condition for catalysis of thrombin inhibition or the inhibition thrombin-mediated amplification reactions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
