Crystal structure of the myotoxin-II from Atropoides nummifer venom

Overview

Lys49 snake-venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) homologues are highly myotoxic, proteins which, although lacking catalytic activity, possess the ability, to disrupt biological membranes, inducing significant muscle-tissue loss, and permanent disability in severely envenomed patients. Since the, structural basis for their toxic activity is still only partially, understood, the structure of myotoxin II, a monomeric Lys49 PLA2 homologue, from Atropoides nummifer, has been determined at 2.08 angstroms resolution, and the anion-binding site has been characterized.

About this Structure

2AOZ is a Single protein structure of sequence from Atropoides nummifer with SO4 as ligand. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
