Abstract
The anticoagulant previously described reduces thrombic activity by reconverting the thrombin back to prothrombin, indicating that thrombin is a dissociable union of cephalin and prothrombin. It inhibits the activation of prothrombin to thrombin but these phases of its action may be abolished by treating it with tissue fibrinogen or cephalin.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
