Molecular interactions between complement factor H and its heparin and heparan sulphate ligands

Molecular interactions between complement factor H and its heparin and heparan sulphate ligands

Complement Factor H (CFH) is the major regulator of the central complement protein C3b in the alternative pathway of complement activation. A molecular view of the CFH interaction with native heparan sulphate is central for understanding the mechanism for how surface-bound CFH interacts with C3b bou...
