Biochemical characterization of a phospholipase A2 homologue from the venom of the social wasp Polybia occidentalis

Abstract Background: Wasp venoms constitute a molecular reservoir of new pharmacological substances such as peptides and proteins, biological property holders, many of which are yet to be identified. Exploring these sources may lead to the discovery of molecules hitherto unknown. This study describ...
