In vitromodel of annexin A5 crystallization on natural phospholipid bilayers observed by atomic force microscopy

Annexin A5 is a potent anticoagulant protein with a thrombomodulatory function. It is frequently mentioned with systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease, which share higher vulnerability to cardiovascular diseases. The protein has the ability to bind to membranes containing negatively charged phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner. The potent anticoagulant properties of the protein are a consequence of this crystallization, which forms the...
