1 Lateral self-association of VWF involves the Cys2431-Cys2453 disulfide/dithiol in the C2 domain. dithiol von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
2 Our present findings imply that lateral VWF dimers form when a Cys2431 thiolate anion attacks the Cys2431 sulfur atom of the Cys2431-Cys2453 disulfide bond of another VWF molecule, whereas the Cys2451-Cys2468 disulfide/dithiol mediates formation of trimers and higher-order oligomers. dithiol von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
