Chromatography profile of crude C. d. ruruima venom on Sephasil C8 5 μm ST 4.6/250 (Amersham Biosciences). Flow rate: 1.l mL/min. Fractions of 0.5 ml were eluted under a gradient of 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile (0–25% in 0.4 mL; 25–50% in 105 mL; and 50-100% in 0.4 mL). PLA2 activity of CBr was . Under the same experimental conditions, CB from C. d. terrificus gave .
