Model of factor IXa[1]. The epidermal growth factor (green) and serine protease (yellow) domains of factor IXa (42) are shown connected to the IXGD1–46 structure (white), using factor VIIa structure (17) as a reference model. The bound Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions are drawn as orange and blue spheres, respectively. D-Phe-Pro-Arg-chloromethylketone, which is bound to the active site, is shown as a red stick model. The phospholipid membrane surface is shown by a yellow line. Hydrophobic residues (yellow), basic residues (purple) and Mg2+ ion (Mg-1) of GD1–46 are possible candidates for membrane binding.
