title: Structure and function of clostridial phospholipases C.
abstract: A range of clostridial species produce phospholipases C. The zinc metallo phospholipases C have related sequences but different properties. All of these enzymes may be arranged, like alpha-toxin as two-domain proteins. Differences in enzymatic, haemolytic and toxic properties may be explained by differences in amino acids at key positions.
