Angle dependent forced separation and rolling calculations for VWF A1 variants bound to GPIbα.
Binding between the von Willebrand factor (VWF) A1 domain and platelet glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα) controls platelet capture under flow and changes when disease-associated A1 substitutions alter force-dependent bond lifetimes. We examined how disease-associated A1 substitutions affect bond mechanics under directional load...
