Activities induced by B. mattogrossensis snake venom.

Effecta	Activity
Phospholipase activityb (U/mg)	1,864.05
Proteolytic activityc (U/10 μg)	3.0 ± 0.1
Hemorrhagic halod (cm2)	3.33 ± 0.05
Coagulation activitye (MCD, μg)	0.325

^aAll experiments were carried out in triplicate. ^bActivity using NOB stained substrate. ^cOne enzymatic unit (U) was defined as the quantity of enzyme needed to increase the absorbance by 0.05 UA/440 nm. ^dValues 3 h after incubation with crude venom of B. mattogrossensis (50 μg). ^eMCD: the minimum coagulation dose was the dose capable of coagulating 200 μL of citrated plasma in less than a minute.
