Kinetic Aspects of the Interaction of Blood Clotting Enzymes

Summary

Application of enzyme kinetics to the results of thrombotest estimations in correlation with specific clotting factor estimations has led to the recognition of a protein moiety that occurs in plasma in vitamin K deficiency and acts as a competitive inhibitor of thrombin formation. A hypothesis is given by which the occurrence of this inhibitor is explained in terms of a biphasic synthesis of the vitamin K-dependent clotting factors.
