Fibrinogen (factor I) is a glycoprotein in vertebrates that helps in the formation of blood clots. It consists of a linear array of 3 nodules held together by a very thin thread which is estimated to have a diameter between 8 and 15 A. The two end nodules are alike but the center one is slightly smaller. Measurements of shadow lengths indicate tha...
