Synergistically acting PLA2: Peptide hemorrhagic complex from Daboia russelii venom

Toxicon, 2013
Snake venoms are complex mixture of enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins. Non-covalent protein–protein interaction leads to protein complexes, which bring about enhanced pharmacological injuries by their synergistic action. Here we report identification and characterization of a new Daboia russelii hemorrhagic complex I (DR–HC-I) containing ...
