The Internal Dynamics of Fibrinogen and Its Implications for Coagulation and Adsorption
Fig 6
A simplified model of fibrinogen adsorption.
(a) Simplified model of fibrinogen flexibility. The hinge bending angles (γ1, φ1, γ2 and φ2) represent the only degrees of freedom of the molecule in this representation. The geometrical parameters are determined from the crystal structure of Fg. (b) 2D projection of the model as seen in AFM experiments.
