Inhibitory effect of fucoidan on the activities of crotaline snake venom myotoxic phospholipases A2
(2003)
Myotoxic phospholipases A2 account for most of the muscle necrosis that results from envenenomation by crotaline snakes. In this study,
we investigated the protective effect of fucoidan, a natural sulfated polysaccharide ...
Comparative study of synthetic peptides corresponding to region 115-129 in Lys49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 from snake venoms
(2003)
Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologues constitute a group of catalytically-inactive proteins, present in the venoms of many
crotalid snakes, which induce myonecrosis. Current evidence supports the mapping of their toxic site ...
Crystallization of the Lys49 PLA2 homologue, myotoxin II from the venom of Atropoides nummifer
(2004-12)
Myotoxin II, a Lys49 catalytically inactive phospholipase A2 homologue from Atropoides nummifer venom, was purified, characterized
and crystallized. The crystals belongs to the tetragonal system, space group P43212, with ...
Structural characterization and phylogenetic relationships of myotoxin II from Atropoides (Bothrops) nummifer snake venom, a Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologue
(2002)
In order to analyze its structure–function relationships, the complete amino acid sequence of myotoxin II from Atropoides
(Bothrops) nummifer from Costa Rica was determined. This toxin is a Lys49-type phospholipase A2 ...
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 ...
Epidemiology of rapes in Costa Rica: Characterization of victims, perpetrators and circumstances surrounding forced intercourse
(2014-09)
Since the year 2000, the number of rapes in Costa Rica has increased at a rate of 42 cases per year. In 2011, 1786 rape cases were reported to the prosecution offices throughout the country, but only 1081 reports continued ...
