Abstract
Myotoxin II, a Lys49 catalytically inactive phospholipase A2 homologue from Atropoides nummifer venom, was purified, characterized
and crystallized. The crystals belongs to the tetragonal system, space group P43212, with unit cell parameters (a=b=68.66 and c=63.87 2).
Diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.32 2. The crystal structure is currently being determined using molecular replacement
techniques.
