Abstract
Magnetic field orientation can be considered as a new valuable technique for the study of fibrin. Birefringence measurements during polymerization in the magnetic field enables a new approach to study the mode of association of fibrin monomers. Stable fully oriented clots can be obtained for investigation of the three-dimensional and the secondary structures of the fibrin fiber. Such experiments could be useful to assess the structure of other biopolymers diamagnetically anisotropic.Keywords
