Modification of His-47 and removal of the N-terminal octapeptide caused a different effect on the structure of Naja naja atra (Taiwan cobra) phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Unlike native enzyme, Ca2+ induced an alteration in the structural flexibility of His-modified PLA2. Moreover, the spatial positions o
