The structure of prothrombin has eluded investigators for decades but recent
efforts have succeeded in revealing the architecture of this important clotting
factor. Unanticipated features have emerged outlining the significant flexibility
of the zymogen due to linker regions connecting the ? carboxyglutamic domain,
kringles and protease domain. A new, structure-based framework helps in defining
a molecular mechanism of prothrombin activation, rationalizes the severe bleeding
phenotypes of several naturally occurring mutations and identifies targets for
drug design.
