A Revised Mechanism for the Activation of Complement C3 to C3b: A MOLECULAR EXPLANATION OF A DISEASE-ASSOCIATED POLYMORPHISM
The solution structure of complement C3b is crucial for the understanding of complement activation and regulation. C3b is generated by the removal of C3a from C3. Hydrolysis of the C3 thioester produces C3u, an analog of C3b. C3b cleavage results in C3c and C3d (thioester-containing domain; TED). To...
