Investigating and Modeling Possible Mechanisms by Which Healthy Cell Membranes Become Resistant to Hydrolysis by Secretory Phospholipase A2

Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) behaves differently toward the membranes of healthy cells compared to those of damaged or dying cells. The enzyme catalyzes rapid and sustained hydrolysis of compromised cells consistent with a simple catalytic mechanism. In contrast, when healthy cells are incubat...
