Chemical Biology of Thrombin is a comprehensive review of thrombin as regulatory protease, perhaps one of the most important enzymes in hemostasis. It focuses on work from 1970's to the present time. Thrombin has some emerging therapeutic uses such the treatment of pseudoaneurysms and an important role in the extravascular space.
This book is a comprehensive review of thrombin, especially as regulatory protease. The ready availability of highly purified thrombin has stimulated rapid advances in the cell biology of this important macromolecule. The text focuses on research findings from the discovery of thrombin by Andrew Buchanan in 1842 to the present. A substantial amount of this work was conducted by the author and his colleagues. His work on the purification of thrombin was seminal to much subsequent work on thrombin. This volume provides a framework for future studies now made possible by the discovery of the importance of exosites in the physiology of thrombin function. The current work describes the process of the development of an oral inhibitor of thrombin used in the prevention of thrombosis.
