Abstract
Many proteins which are central to the multicellular lifestyle of organisms are made of module-like units which have been shuffled in the course of evolution. The VWFA domains are ligand-binding modules found in many animal proteins whose function is central to their parent molecules. Current data suggest that this domain family has a common mechanism of action, despite a diversity of roles. I aim to fully characterise the way in which the VWFA domains function, thereby greatly enhancing our understanding of the role of the many VWFA domain-containing proteins.
