1 Residue Asp-189 controls both substrate binding and the monovalent cation specificity of thrombin. Aspartic Acid coagulation factor II, thrombin Homo sapiens
2 Residue Asp-189 plays an important dual role in thrombin: it defines the primary specificity for Arg side chains and participates indirectly in the coordination of Na(+). Aspartic Acid coagulation factor II, thrombin Homo sapiens
3 The observation that a single amino acid substitution can alter the monovalent cation specificity of thrombin from Na(+) (Asp-189) to Li(+) (Ser-189) or Rb(+) (Glu-189) is unprecedented in the realm of monovalent cation-activated enzymes. Aspartic Acid coagulation factor II, thrombin Homo sapiens
