Abstract
BACKGROUND: Activated factor IX (FIXa) is an inefficient enzyme that needs activated factor VIII (FVIII) for full activity. Recently, we identified a network of FVIII-driven changes in FIXa employing hydrogen-deuterium eXchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS). Some changes also occurred in active-site inhibited FIXa, but others were not cofactor-driven, in particular those
