## Abstract The morphology of fibrin strongly depends on solvent medium, as shown by clotting experiments carried out in the presence of different salts. The clots were characterized by electron microscopy and spectrophotometric methods; the kinetics of gelation were determined. In the presence of

β¦ Synopsis
The elastic modulus (G') of factor XIIIa induced fibrinogen gels was found to be substantially lower than the G' of fibrin gels that were formed by clotting fibrinogen with thrombin. The addition of fibronectin and/or the reducing reagent dithiothreitol (DTT) to the factor XIIIa coagulation mixture led to the formation of a weaker gel structure, while the rigidity of thrombin induced clots was not appreciably affected by the inclusion of the DTT but increased somewhat in the presence of fibronectin. The reasons for the differing clot rigidities are discussed in terms of biochemical mechanisms.

The tetrapeptide Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro(GPRP) was introduced by diffusion into fine unligated clots formed from human fibrinogen at pH 8.5 and ionic strength 0.45 by batroxobin (a-fibrin) and by thrombin (ap-fibrin). The a-fibrin clots were essentially liquefied a t GPRP concentrations above 1 m M and @-fi
## Abstract The dynamic elastic modulus of cellophanes has been measured by use of the resonant frequency of a 2 Γ 60βmm. strip of film in longitudinal vibration. The niodulus was computed from the resonant frequency length of specinieii, and the crossβsectional area determined from its resonant fr
