Bactericidal and Antiendotoxic Properties of Short Cationic Peptides Derived from a Snake Venom Lys49 Phospholipase A2
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-04)
The activities of short synthetic, nonhemolytic peptides derived from the C-terminal region of myotoxin 11, a catalytically inactive phospholipase A(2) homologue present in the venom of the snake Bothrops asper, have been ...
Bactericidal activity of Lys49 and Asp49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 from Bothrops asper snake venom Synthetic Lys49 myotoxin II-(115−129)-peptide identifies its bactericidal region
(FEBS, 1998)
Mammalian group-II phospholipases A2 (PLA2) of inflammatory fluids display bactericidal properties, which are dependent on their enzymatic activity. This study shows that myotoxins II (Lys49) and III (Asp49), two group-II ...
