Abstract    In order to
obtain tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) mutant with enhanced affinity
for fibrin, redesigning t-PA strategies were proposed by computer molecular
designing technology, and the re-designed t-PA derivative, t-PA S165W, was
expressed in CHO cells. The bio-activities and affinity for fibrin of the
expression product were tested. No apparent changes were observed between t-PA
S165W and wild type t-PA. Therefore, single site mutation of the t-PA could not
lead to enhanced affinity for fibrin of t-PA.
Key words    molecular designing technology
t-PA S165W affinity for fibrin
