A new muscle damaging toxin, myotoxin II, from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper (terciopelo)
(1989)
A new muscle damaging toxin, myotoxin II, was purified from the venom of Bothrops asper by ion-exchange chromatography on CMSephadex C-25. The toxin is a dimeric, basic protein with a monomer mol.wt of 13,341, according ...
Two phospholipase A2 inhibitors from the plasma of Cerrophidion (Bothrops) godmani which selectively inhibit two different group-II phospholipase A2 myotoxins from its own venom: isolation, molecular cloning and biological properties
(2000-03-15)
Myotoxic phospholipases A2 (PLA2s; group II) account for most of the muscle-tissue damage that results from envenomation by viperid snakes. In the venom of the Godman's viper (Cerrophidion godmani, formerly Bothrops godmani), ...
