Elapid venom toxins: multiple recruitments of ancient scaffolds [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1999
Nigroxins A and B, two myotoxic phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) from the venom of the American elapid Micrurus nigrocinctus, belong to a new PLA2 subclass. Their primary structures were established and compared with those of PLA2s that have already been studied with respect to myotoxic activity.

Procoagulant Adaptation of a Blood Coagulation Prothrombinase-like Enzyme Complex in Australian Elapid Venom

Toxins, 2010
The macromolecular enzyme complex prothrombinase serves an indispensable role in blood coagulation as it catalyzes the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, a key regulatory enzyme in the formation of a blood clot.
