Expert Solution

The answer is Heparin.

Heparin is an exmaple for the anticoagulant, these anticoagulants prevents the blood clotting. Heparin works by activating antithrombin which is also called as antithrombin III, this antithrombin III inhibits on thrmobin formation and which inhibits the blood clotting . Heparing is a carbohydrate, which is polymer of glycosaminoglycan disaccharide unit.

An important step in the blood coagulation process is the enzymatic conversion of the protein prothrombin to the lower-molecular-weight clotting agent, thrombin, via cleavage of a portion of the prothrombin polypeptide. Prothrombin → thrombin + cleaved peptide The values of s20,w and D20,w for prothrombin have been found to be 4.85S and 4.93×10−11m2s−1 , respectively. The diffusion coefficient for thrombin is 8.76×10−11m2s−1. Assuming that both thrombin and prothrombin are unhydrated spheres with vB=0.70mLg−1, calculate the molecular weight of the cleaved...

Noonan syndrome is a genetic condition that can affect the heart, growth, blood clotting, and mental and physical development. Noonan et al. examined the stature of men and women with Noonan syndrome. The study contained 29 male and 44 female adults. One of the cut-off values used to assess the stature was the third percentile of adult height. 24 of the females fell below the third percentile of female adult height and 11 of the males fell below the third...
