introductoria sobre el fenómeno científico actual, sus orígenes, su contexto
costarricense, y posteriormente presentar las principales ...
Antimicrobial activity of myotoxic phospholipases A2 from crotalid snake venoms and synthetic peptide variants derived from their C-terminal region
(2005)
A short peptide derived from the C-terminal region of Bothrops asper myotoxin II, a Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2), was
previously found to reproduce the bactericidal activity of its parent molecule. In this study, a panel ...
Depletion of complement enhances the clearance of Brucella abortus in mice
(2018)
Brucellosis is a bacterial disease of animals and humans. Brucella abortus
barely activates the innate immune system at the onset of infection, and this
bacterium is resistant to the microbicidal action of complement. ...
Tyr→Trp-substituted peptide 115-129 of a Lys49 phospholipase A2 expresses enhanced membrane-damaging activities and reproduces its in vivo myotoxic effect
(1999)
Myotoxin II is a group II Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2) isolated from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper. Previous
studies on a synthetic peptide derived from its heparin-binding, cationic/hydrophobic sequence 115^129 ...
Synthetic peptides derived from the C-terminal region of Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologues from Viperidae snake venoms: biomimetic activities and potential applications
(2010)
Lys49-phospholipase A2 homologues constitute a large family of toxins present in the venoms of viperid snake species, which
despite lacking catalytic activity, cause significant skeletal muscle necrosis. The main structural ...
An electrophoretic study on phospholipase A2 isoenzymes in the venoms of Central American crotaline snakes
(1992)
The number and isoelectric points of phospholipase A2 isoenzymes were studied in the venoms of 12 Central American crotaline snakes of the genera Bothrops, Crotalus, Lachesis and Agkistrodon. The study was carried out by ...
