J Protein Chem
. 2001 Dec;
20(5):377-82.
PMID: 11732689
Bothropstoxin-I (BthTX-I), a Lys49 phospholipase A2 homolog with no apparent catalytic activity, was first isolated from Bothropsjararacussu snake venom and completely sequenced in this laboratory. It is a 121-amino-acid single...

. 2000 Dec;
23(12):1832-9.
PMID: 11102906
Bothrops jararacussu venom and its major toxin, bothropstoxin-I (BthTX-I), possess myotoxic and neurotoxic activities. The ability of commercial equine antivenom to neutralize these activities was studied in mouse isolated phrenic...

. 2000 Jul;
66(5):424-8.
PMID: 10909261
In Brazilian folk medicine, victims of bites by poisonous animals are usually treated with plant extracts derived from the diverse national flora. The chemical and pharmacological properties of most extracts...

Pereira M, Novello J, Cintra A, Giglio J, Landucci E, Oliveira B, et al.
J Protein Chem
. 1998 Jun;
17(4):381-6.
PMID: 9619591
The complete amino acid sequence of bothropstoxin-II (BthTX-II), a myotoxin isolated from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom, is reported. The results show that BthTX-II is an Asp-49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-like protein...

Eur J Pharmacol
. 1998 May;
343(2-3):257-63.
PMID: 9570475
Bothropstoxin-I and bothropstoxin-II are phospholipase A2 homologues isolated from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom. The former is devoid of phospholipase A2 activity whereas the latter has very low enzymatic activity. In...

Proteins
. 1998 Apr;
30(4):442-54.
PMID: 9533628
Bothropstoxin I (BthTX-I) from the venom of Bothrops jararacussu is a myotoxic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) homologue which, although catalytically inactive due to an Asp49-->Lys substitution, disrupts the integrity of lipid...

Toxicon
. 1996 May;
34(5):614-7.
PMID: 8783457
A myotoxic phospholipase A2, bothropstoxin II, which exhibits low hydrolytic activity, was crystallized and X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.2 A. Preliminary analysis reveals the presence...

Toxicon
. 1995 Mar;
33(3):383-6.
PMID: 7638878
The myotoxic Lys-49 phospholipase bothropstoxin I was crystallized, and X-ray diffraction data were collected to 3.5 A resolution. Preliminary analysis reveals the presence of four molecules in the asymmetric unit.
