X-Ray Crystallography and Single Molecule Spectroscopy May Help Solve Mystery of Blood-Clotting

Last summer, SLU scientists made a breakthrough discovery about the way in which blood clots. Through X-ray crystallography, they solved the molecular structure of prothrombin, an important blood-clotting protein, revealing an unexpected, flexible role for a "linker" region that may be the key to developing better life-saving drugs.
