Abstract: | - 1.1. The major phospholipase A has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the venom of Vipera russelli (Russell's viper).
- 2.2. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 31,000 by Sephadex G-75 gel filtration chromatography and 29,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme exhibited an apparent Km value of 2.3 × 10?2 M.
- 3.3. The phospholipase A showed edema forming, indirect hemolytic and myonecrotic activities but not hemorrhagic activity.
