Vicinal disulfide bond modulates A1-GPIbα interaction by altering the force-induced conformational changes of A2 domain.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) plays a crucial role in hemostasis and thrombosis, with its A1 and A2 domains being keys to its function. This study investigates the impact of the vicinal disulfide bond in the A2 domain on the interaction between the A1 domain and platelet glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα). Using single-molecule optical tweezers, we evaluated the mechanical unfolding and refolding behaviors of wild-type A2 (WT A2) and an A2 mutant without the vicinal disulfide bond (CC-AA A2). Our results reveal that CC-AA A2 exhibits heterogeneous unfolding patterns and altered refolding characteristics compared to WT A2. Furthermore, microscale thermophoresis and AlphaFold3 predictions demonstrate enhanced binding affinity of CC-AA A2 to the A1 domain and decreased binding affinity of CC-AA A1A2 to the ligand binding domain (LBD) of GPIbα. These findings advance our understanding of the regulatory role of the vicinal disulfide bond in VWF function and its potential implications in hemostasis and thrombosis.
