Secreted phospholipases (sPLA2s) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLA2s were reported ...

The two snake venom myotoxins ammodytin L and myotoxin II, purified respectively from Vipera ammodytes ammodytes and Bothrops asper, have phospholipase-like structures but lack an Asp-49 in the active site and are without ...

Miltefosine (hexadecylphosphocholine or HePC) is an alkylphosphocholine approved for the treatment of visceral and cutaneous Leishmaniasis. HePC exerts its effect by interacting with lipid membranes and affecting ...

Alkaline phosphatase activity was released up to 100% from the membrane by incubating the rat osseous plate membrane-bound enzyme with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. The molecular weight of the released ...

Several snake venoms contain a phospholipase A2 in which position 49 in the active site is occupied by a lysine or a serine instead of the aspartate residue normally found. Although these proteins do not bind Ca2+ and are ...

Several myotoxins have been isolated from Bothrops snake venoms during the last 10 years. All of them are group II basic phospholipases A2, although some lack enzymatic activity (i.e. Lys-49 variants). These myotoxins ...
