Structural basis for a novel model for myotoxic activity on phospholipases A2
(Int Union Crystallography, 2014-08-01)
Crystal structure of a phospholipase A2 from Bothrops asper venom: Insights into a new putative “myotoxic cluster”
(2017-02-01)
Snake venoms from the Viperidae and Elapidae families often have several phospholipases A2 (PLA2s), which may display different functions despite having a similar structural scaffold. These proteins are considered an ...
The Intriguing Phospholipases A(2) Homologues: Relevant Structural Features on Myotoxicity and Catalytic Inactivity
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2009-08-01)
Phospholipases A(2) homologues are found in the venom of Crotalinae snakes, being their main action related to myonecrosis induction. Although many studies on these toxins had already been performed, their mechanism of ...

Structural basis of phospholipase A2-like myotoxin inhibition by chicoric acid, a novel potent inhibitor of ophidian toxins
(2018-12-01)
Background: Specific compounds found in vegetal species have been demonstrated to be efficient inhibitors of snake toxins, such as phospholipase A2-like (PLA2-like) proteins. These particular proteins, present in several ...
Functional and structural studies of a Phospholipase A2-like protein complexed to zinc ions: Insights on its myotoxicity and inhibition mechanism
(2017-01-01)
Background One of the main challenges in snakebite envenomation treatment is the development of stable, versatile and efficient anti-venom therapies. Local myotoxicity in accidents involving snakes from the Bothrops genus ...
