dFG-3 has much weaker catalysis activity of coagulation protease inhibition by AT compared with heparin.
dFG-3 may not have allosteric activation effect on AT.
dFG-3 binds to factor IXa with much higher affinity than heparin.
Fucose side chains and carboxyl groups of dFG-3 may be required for its high affinity binding with factor IXa.
