abstract：:Antithrombin III Hamilton is a structural variant of antithrombin III (AT-III) with normal heparin affinity but impaired serine protease inhibitory activity. The molecular defect of AT-III-Hamilton is a substitution of threonine for alanine at amino acid residue 382. Recently it has been shown that both plasma-derived...
