A bactericidal homodimeric phospholipases A(2) from Bungarus fasciatus venom

Group IIA secretory phospholipases A(2) (sPLA(2)-II) is generally known to display potent grampositive bactericidal activity, while group IA sPLA(2) (sPLA(2)-I) reportedly is not. In this work, a novel sPLA(2)-I named BFPA was identified from Bungarus fas
