| Abstract | The cDNA sequence of the B chain of thrombin (EC 3.4.21.5) has been determined from nine vertebrate species (rat, mouse, rabbit, chicken, gecko, newt, rainbow trout, sturgeon, and hagfish). The amino acid sequence identities vary from 96.5% (rat vs. mouse) to 62.6% (newt vs. hagfish). Of the 240 amino acids spanned in all the species compared, there is identity at 110 (45.8%) positions. When conservative changes are included, the amino acid similarity increases to 75%. The most conserved portions of the B chain are the active-site residues and adjacent amino acids, the B loop, and the primary substrate-binding region. In addition, the Arg-Gly-Asp motif is conserved in 9 of the 11 species compared, and the chemotactic/growth factor domain is well conserved in all of the 11 species compared. The least conserved regions of the B chain correspond to surface loops, including the putative thrombomodulin-binding sites and one of the hirudin-binding regions. The extent of the amino acid sequence similarity and the conservation of many of the functional/structural motifs suggests that, in addition to their role in blood coagulation, vertebrate thrombins may also play an important role in the general mechanisms of wound repair. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
