Figure 4. Mechanoenzymatic cleavage of A2 by ADAMTS13.

Figure 4

a. Representative traces showing cleavage in presence of enzyme ( panel 1) and no cleavage in absence of enzyme (panel 2) b. Enzyme kinetics. The hyperbolic dependence of catalytic rate on enzyme concentration was fit with the single-molecule Michaelis-Menten equation (21) (solid line). Data points and standard error were determined from single parameter exponential fits to the survival fraction as a function of time (inset).
