We report a novel hybrid, molecular and elemental mass spectrometry (MS) setup for the
absolute quantification of snake venom proteomes shown here for two desert black cobra …

Despite causing considerable human mortality and morbidity, animal toxins represent a
valuable source of pharmacologically active macromolecules, a unique system for studying …

Non-enzymatic proteins from snake venoms play important roles in the immobilization of
prey, and include some large and well-recognized families of toxins. The study of such …

The complexity of snake venoms has long been investigated to explore a myriad of
biologically active proteins and peptides that are used for immobilizing or killing prey, and …

Bothrops spp. is responsible for about 70% of snakebites in Brazil, causing a diverse and
complex pathophysiological condition. Bothrops leucurus is the main species of medical …

The advent of soft ionization mass spectrometry‐based proteomics in the 1990s led to the
development of a new dimension in biology that conceptually allows for the integral analysis …

Cone snails are highly successful marine predators that use complex venoms to capture
prey. At any given time, hundreds of toxins (conotoxins) are synthesized in the secretory …

For over a century, venom samples from wild snakes have been collected and stored around
the world. However, the quality of storage conditions for “vintage” venoms has rarely been …

Understanding the nature and strength of natural selection that influences the evolution of
genes is one of the major aspects of modern evolutionary biological studies. Animal venoms …

We report the proteomic characterization of the venoms of two closely related pit vipers of
the genus Lachesis, L. muta (South American Bushmaster) and L. stenophrys (Central …
