['Factor (F) VIII consists of a heavy chain (A1A2B domains) and light chain (A3C1C2 domains), while the contiguous A1A2 domains are separate subunits in the cofactor, FVIIIa. Recently we reported that procofactor stability at elevated temperature and cofactor stability over an extended time course were increased following replacement of individual charged residues (Asp(D)519, Glu(E)665 or Glu(E)1984) with either Ala (A) or Val (V) (Wakabayashi et al., Blood, 112, 2761, 2008).', 'In the current study we generated combination mutants at these three sites to examine any additive and/or synergistic effects of these mutations on stability.', 'Studies assessing FVIII stability involved monitoring decay rates of FVIII at 55 degrees C or in guanidinium, decay of FVIIIa following A2 subunit dissociation, and thrombin generation at low (0.3 nmol L(-1)) FVIII concentration.'] Does combining mutations of charged residues at the A2 domain interface enhance factor VIII stability over single point mutations?
