Much of the progress has centered around crystallographic studies that have successfully unveiled key domains. In many cases, however, whole domains, key loops, or metal ions have not been located. We have employed modeling and electrostatically accurate solution molecular dynamics to build complete molecular models for active enzymes in the cascade. Additionally, we have constructed the zymogen precursors with a goal towards constructing the membrane-bound protein-protein complexes that constitute the coagulation cascade.
