Molecular Characterization and In Silico Analyses of Maurolipin Structure as a Secretory Phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) from Venom Glands of Iranian Scorpio maurus (Arachnida: Scorpionida)

The venom is a mixture of various compounds with specific biological activities, such as the phospholipase  A2 (PLA2) enzyme present in scorpion venom. PLA2 plays a key role in inhibiting ryanodine receptor channels and has neurotoxic activity. This study is the first investigation of molecular char...
