Fibrin in the blood works along with two other molecules. These molecules are platelets (small fragments of blood cells that circulate in the blood), and neighboring blood vessels which constrict when needed. These methods work together along with Fibrin to create scabs which stop the flow of blood. The structure of Fibrin is mainly consists of single alpha helices shown in pink and beta sheets shown in yellow. The <scene name='Sandbox_72/Hydrogen_side_chain_bonds/1'>Back Bone</scene> of The Fibrin Protein allows it to be flexible and clog lacerations to the skin. Apart of Fibrin, there is a vertebrate hexamer containing two sets of three different chains (α, β, and γ), linked to each other by <scene name='Sandbox_72/Polar_site/1'>disulfide bonds</scene> bonds. | Fibrin in the blood works along with two other molecules.

Fibrin is more of a crystal structure with two double-d fragment from human fibrin with two bound ligands. The chemical structures of the ligands are Ca+2 ion, alpha-D-mannose (C6H1206), and D-glcosamine (C8H15NO6). | |||
