Structure Fibrinogen is a glycoprotein made up of two subunits which include Three non-identical chains Aa, Bb y. Its central region also called “E region” is where all chains meet, the chains intertwine with each other to hold both of the subunits together. On both ends of fibrinogen are the D regions containing the B & Y nodule and the coiled-coil region. Structural highlights Three non-identical chains FIBRINOPRPTIDES D REGION P This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
