A L-Aminoacid oxidase enzyme was purified and characterized from Bothrops atrox snake venom by two steps. It used a Sephadex G-100 column and ion exchange on CM-Sephadex C-50 at pH 6. The purification grade was 12,14 folds with a specific activity of 4,13 U/mg. This enzyme with a molecular weight of 127,879 daltons as determined by gel filtration is a noncovalent dimmer consisting of two subunits with a molecular weight each of 63,128 daltons as determined by SDS-PAGE, with at least one intrachain disulfide bond that is important for its activity. The enzyme exhibited a optimun pH of 8,3 using L- leucine as substrate. It is an acid glicoprotein containing 17% carbohydrate, being thermoestable till 55 ºC, labil to alkaline pH and susceptible to presence of Zn 2+. The antigenicity and homogeneity of enzyme was demonstrated by inmunodiffusion and inmunoelectrophoresis using polivalent antibothropic antivenom. Beside antibacterial effect of whole venom as well as purified enzyme was demonstrated by Grove’s method on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli grown cultures, being Gram positive bacterials, more susceptible than Gram-negative bacterials. Moreover B. atrox crude venom and its purified enzyme LAO, presented an in vitro effect against Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis promastigotes with an EC50 of 7,82 and 1,33 μg/ml respectively, and Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes with an EC50 of 7,95 ug/ml for whole venom and 1,38 μg/ml for purified enzyme. LAO does not have haemorragic nor hemolytic activities on mouse skin (20-22 g body weight) and human red blood cells respectively. However LAO produces edema with a DEM of 15,18 μg of protein. Key words: L-amino acid oxidase, snake, enzyme, Bothrops atrox, venom
