| isolation of a venom factor devoid of proteolytic activity from taiwan habu (trimeresurus mucrosquamatus): n-terminal sequence homology and no functional similarity to factors ix/x-binding proteins and botrocetin. | one novel venom factor was isolated and purified from the venom of taiwan habu (trimeresurus mucrosquamatus) using two consecutive anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatographies followed by cation-exchange hplc. further characterization of the purified protein indicated that it lacks the proteolytic activity toward fibrinogen molecules, suggesting that this protein factor does not belong to the familes of metalloproteinases and thrombin-like serine proteases commonly found in the crude venom ... | 1996 | 8968958 |
