Chapter 5.3, Problem 6TC
Summary Introduction
To develop: A hypothesis about the way in which the role of phospholipases in digestion might differ from their role in venom.
Introduction: Snake venom produces many pathological effects such as neuromuscular damage, blood coagulation, muscular damage, and all of these systems damage starts with tissue damage. Phospholipase is the main enzyme that is present in snake venom.
