Turmerin is a protein from Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) with a relative molecular mass of 14 kDa. The protein inhibits the enzymatic activity and neutralizes the pharmacological properties, such as cytotoxicity, oedema and myotoxicity of multitoxic phospholipase A2 (NV-PLA2) of cobra (Naja naja) venom at a 1:2.5 molar ratio of NV-PLA2:Turmerin. A Lineweaver-Burk plot indicates that Turmerin follows a linear mixed type of inhibition.
