Abstract excerpt

The structural features of presynaptically neurotoxic secretory phospholipases A(2) (sPLA(2)s) that are responsible for their potent and specific action are still a matter of debate. To identify the residues that distinguish a highly neurotoxic sPLA(2), ammodytoxin A (AtxA), from a structurally s...
