--- In the present research the biochemical, biological, immunological, as well as molecular properties of a basic isoform of Phospholipase A2 from venom of peruvian snake Lachesis muta (PLA2BasicL.muta), were studied. This enzyme was purified using ion exchange, filtration and high performance chromatographical steps, respectively. The enzyme was purified 41,2 times with a yield of 64%. SDA-PAGE analysis showed a unique protein band of 14,7 kDa under reducing and no reducing conditions indicating that the enzyme is a single polypeptide chain. Furthermore, the enzyme had a optimal pH of 7,8 and was inhibited by PMSF, EDTA and glutation. In relation to its biologic activity, a Medium Hemolytic Doses (DH50) of 4,35µg/tube, Minimum Miotoxic Doses (MMD) of 18,96µg/ml and the Minimum Edematic Doses (MED) of 91,5μg were obtained. For another hand, the PLA2 didn´t show either hemorrhagic or anticoagulant activities, and was recognized and partially inhibited by monovalent antilachesic serum (INS-Perú) by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis. Using RT-PCR methodology and bioinformátics analysis the complete cDNA sequence of PLA2basicL.muta with 445 bp and an open reading frames of 414 nucleotides, were obtained, which encodes a peptide signal of 16 amino acids and a matured protein of 122 residues with 13, 86 kDa and a pI value of 8,3, calculated by in silico analysis. The amino acidic sequence contains conserved residues of His48, Asp49, Tyr52 in the catalytic site, as well as Tyr18, Gly30 y Gly32 in the Ca+2 -binding site. Three-dimensional model of PLA2basicL.muta showed that was conformed by three α-helix, one β-sheet and one Ca+2 -binding ribbon. PLA2basicL.muta shows a high structural homology with other snake venom phospholipases. Finally, studies reveal that PLA2basicL.muta belongs to the group of lower molecular weigh basic sPLA2 [asp49]. This work is the first study that correlate the structure and function of a Peruvian snake venom enzyme. Key words: Phospholipase A2, Isoenzyme, Lachesis muta, pharmacologic site, transcript.
