Abstract

Peptide ligands which bind to thrombin and prothrombin are disclosed. The sequences of these peptides are Gln-Leu-Trp-Gly-Ser-His, Arg-Gln-Leu-Trp-Gly-Ser-His, His-Gln-Leu-Trp-Gly-Ser-His, and Tyr-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro-Tyr-Leu. The preferred peptides have the sequence Gln-Leu-Trp-Gly-Ser-His or Tyr-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro-Tyr-Leu. A method of using these peptides in an affinity chromatography process to purify thrombin is described.
