Thrombin plays a pivotal role in the coagulation cascade; therefore, it represents a primary target in the treatment of several blood diseases. The 15‐mer DNA oligonucleotide 5′‐GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG‐3′, known as thrombin binding aptamer (TBA), is a highly potent inhibitor of the enzyme. TBA folds as an antiparallel chair‐like G‐quadruplex structure, with two G‐tetrads surrounded by two TT loops on one side and a TGT loop on the opposite side. Previous crystallographic studies have shown that TBA binds thrombin exosite I by its TT loops, T3T4 and T12T13. In order to get a better understanding of the thrombin–TBA interaction, we have undertaken a crystallographic characterization of the complexes between thrombin and two TBA mutants, TBAΔT3 and TBAΔT12, which lack the nucleobase of T3 and T12, respectively. The structural details of the two complexes show that exosite I is actually split into two regions, which contribute differently to TBA recognition. These results provide the basis for a more rational design of new aptamers with improved therapeutic action. The X‐ray structure of two mutants of thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) in complex with their target protein shed new light about the recognition process. The interaction site of thrombin (exosite I) is split into two regions differently contributing to the binding. This result suggests new TBA modifications to improve the aptamer action.
