Treatment with a Zinc Metalloprotease Purified from Bothrops moojeni Snake Venom (BmooMP-Alpha-I) Reduces the Inflammation in an Experimental Model of Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis. [PDF]
It has been described that the metalloprotease BmooMP‐alpha‐I purified from Bothrops moojeni snake venom is able to hydrolyze the TNF molecule. However, this observation has been based mainly on in vitro investigation, in addition to molecular modeling and docking approaches.

Rapid purification of a new P-I class metalloproteinase from Bothrops moojeni venom with antiplatelet activity. [PDF]
The present study aimed to evaluate the proteolytic and biological activities of a new metalloproteinase from B. moojeni venom. The purification of BmooMPα‐II was carried out through two chromatographic steps (ion‐exchange and affinity). BmooMPα‐II is a monomeric protein with an apparent molecular mass of 22.5 kDa on SDS‐PAGE 14% under nonreducing ...

Low-level laser therapy decreases local effects induced by myotoxins isolated from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom [PDF]
The prominent myotoxic effects induced by Bothrops jararacussu crude venom are due, in part, to its polycationic myotoxins, BthTX-I and BthTX-II. Both myotoxins have a phospholipase A2 structure: BthTX-II is an active enzyme Asp-49 PLA2, while BthTX-I is
