Figure 1.
3D model representation of the fibrinogen protein. The three fibrinogen chains (Aα, Bβ, and γ) are represented in yellow, cyan, and green, respectively; the domains composing the molecule are also shown. The D regions correspond to lateral globular parts containing the C-terminus of Bβ and γ chains; the E region is the central nodule, containing the N-terminus of all chains. The model was obtained using the pdb structure 3GHG and the UCSF Chimera package.
