Abstract
In addition to its classical active-site regions (catalytic site and adjacent regions), alpha-thrombin has a unique anion-binding exosite, which is functionally independent of the catalytic site and is involved in fibrin(ogen) recognition. This exosite also accounts for adhesion to negatively charged surfaces (e.g., glass), binding to cell surfaces, and interactions with the anionic tail of hirudin. Hirudin (as an apolar, tridisulfide-linked core structure followed by its anionic tail) interacts with alpha-thrombin by apolar (e.g., catalytic-site and adjacent regions of thrombin), as well as by ionic binding (e.g., anion-binding exosite). Circular dichroism measurements reveal a sigmoidal nonadditivity for the hirudin tail fragments, which block fibrinogen-clotting activity without interfering with tripeptide chromogenic substrate activities. Such fragments, however, inhibit factor V activation to much lesser extents than hirudin, where factor V activation is the key step in regulating thrombin generation by hirudin or heparin/antithrombin III. Hirudin-derived antithrombotics may thus have differential modes of action in hemostasis and wound healing processes.

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 it
