The binding of 2 μg/mL multimeric or native VN to immobilized HKa or D5 (each 5 μg/mL) is shown. Binding was studied in the absence or presence of Zn2+ (50 μmol/L) and heparin (10 μg/mL). Binding of multimeric VN to BSA in the absence or presence of Zn2+ was 0.163 ± 0.014 and 0.132 ± 0.006, respectively. Binding of native VN to BSA in the absence or presence of Zn2+ was 0.143 ± 0.005 and 0.142 ± 0.003, respectively. This nonspecific binding was subtracted to estimate specific binding. Binding is expressed as absorbance at 405 nm. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 3) of a typical experiment, and similar results were obtained in 3 separate experiments.
