The rate of inactivation of FXIII-A2* can occur on a physiologically relevant timescale. (A) Lineweaver-Burk plot used to generate kinetic parameters for FXIII-A2*, with data sets represented by different colors. The data point circled in pink is derived from the slope of the initial velocity in panel B (pink line). (B) The generation of FXIII-A2* cleavage products by plasmin (300 nM) at a representative FXIII-A2* concentration, determined using an ammonia release assay. (C) Standard curves of ammonia generation over time using various [FXIII-A2*]. (D) Ammonia generation over time, with varying times of FXIII-A2* digestion with plasmin. n = 3 for all experiments. Abs, absorbance.
