Essentials Membrane‐binding GLA domains of coagulation factors are essential for proper clot formation. Factor X (FX) is specific to phosphatidylserine (PS) lipids through unknown atomic‐level interactions. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to develop the first membrane‐bound model of FX‐GLA. PS binding modes of FX‐GLA were described, and potential PS‐specific binding sites identified.
