We demonstrate that lipidomics coupled with molecular dynamics reveal unique phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> specificity toward membrane phospholipid substrates. We discovered unexpected headgroup and acyl-chain specificity for three major human phospholipases A<sub>2</sub>. The differences between each enzyme's specificity, coupled with molecular dynamics-based structural and binding studies, revealed unique binding sites and interfacial surface binding moieties for each enzyme that explain the obs ...[more]
