The inhibition of thrombin by antithrombin III (AT III) and heparin has been studied in pure systems to determine the kinetics of inhibition during human prothrombin activation. The present study shows that prothrombinase-catalyzed prothrombin activation resulted in the generation of thrombin and meizothrombin(des F1). In the absence of heparin the second-order rate constants of the inactivation of both thrombin and meizothrombin(des F1) formed in the reaction mixture appeared to be identical, k = 3.7 X 10(5) M-1 min-1. The rate constant of inhibition of purified thrombin was 6.5 X 10(5) M-1 min-1. In the presence of heparin the decay of the amidolytic activity was biexponential and could be modeled by a four-parameter equation to determine the pseudo first-order rate constants of inhibition as well as the composition of the reaction with respect to the levels of thrombin and meizothrombin(des F1). The ratio of thrombin over meizothrombin(des F1) varied with the initial prothrombin concentration. Heparin catalyzed the AT III inhibition of thrombin but not meizothrombin(des F1) formed during the prothrombin activation. Thrombin, generated by (Xa-Va-phospholipid-Ca2+) was inhibited by AT III/heparin more slowly than purified thrombin, and the saturation kinetics of the inhibition with respect to AT III differed from those found with purified thrombin.
