The complete mitochondrial genome of (Silvestri, 1916) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).

(Silvestri, 1916), an important solitary opiinae endoparasitoid, plays a crucial role in biological control programs against tephritid pests. In this study, the entire mitochondrial (mt) genome of was sequenced and characterized. The whole mitogenome of is 15,188 bp long with a G + C content of 14.

Crystal structure of a Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus venom metalloproteinase providing new insights into the inhibition by endogenous tripeptide inhibitors.

The crystal structure of TM-1, a P-I class snake-venom metalloproteinase (SVMP) from the Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus venom, was determined at 1.8-Å resolution. The structure exhibits the typical feature of SVMPs and is stabilized by three disulfide linkages.

A conserved hydrogen-bond network in the catalytic centre of animal glutaminyl cyclases is critical for catalysis.
