Coagulation factor V (FV) circulates in the bloodstream in an inactive form (procofactor) and is activated to factor Va (FVa) by thrombin. Thrombin cleaves away the large inhibitory B-domain of FV which resolves the molecule into a heterodimer that is stabilized through non-covalent interactions between heavy (A1-A2) and light (A3-C1-C2) chains. A recombinantly expressed truncated B-domain variant of factor V (FV-DT) exhibits constitutive FVa-like activity even in the absence of proteolysis. FV maintains

The Importance of Calcium Ions Alyssa Foels 12 February 2015 Kilfe Calcium is a cation‚ a positively charged atom‚ and it is essential to all living things. It was first discovered in 1808 by Humphrey Davy. When forming an ionic bond with other elements‚ calcium loses electrons to make its valence shell stable. This means that it has more protons than electrons‚ making it have a slight positive charge (Calcium). Calcium has many roles and functions in the human body. Calcium ions are the

Title Biochemical Analysis of Blood Abstract Introduction After blood is collected from a patient it is analysed to check the fragments present and the fluid which will either be plasma or serum. After plasma is separated from blood it recollects the fibrinogen which in turn helps in clotting however serum is the portion of blood which remains after the fibrinogen is removed. Serum contains approximately 6-8% of the proteins which make up blood however plasma creates up to 55% of blood

Hemophilia is an inherited medical condition where the blood does not clot properly. Hemophiliacs - people with hemophilia‚ lack a protein called a clotting factor that works with platelets to stop bleeding at the site of an injury. People with hemophilia tend to bleed for longer periods of time after an injury and they are more susceptible to internal bleeding. Excessive bleeding can occur both externally and internally. Signs of excessive external bleeding include bleeding in the mouth from
