Abstract excerpt

From the acidic components of Bungarus fasciatus venom, a very small amount (0.16%) of a novel phospholipase A2 was obtained. Both neurotoxicity and enzyme activity were found to be lacking. Amino acid sequence study showed that it has a normal backbone of group I snake venom phospholipase A2 wit...
