Due to the extreme variation of venom, which consequently results in drastically variable
degrees of neutralization by CroFab antivenom, the management and treatment of …

Introduction: Animal venoms are complex chemical arsenals. Most venoms are rich in
bioactive peptides with proven potential as research tools, drug leads and drugs. Areas …

Nature's library of venoms is a vast and untapped resource that has the potential of
becoming the source of a wide variety of new drugs and therapeutics. The discovery of these …

Unraveling the repertoire of venom toxins of Bothropoides pauloensis was assessed by
snake venomics and venom gland transcriptomic surveys. Both approaches yielded …

Besides being a public health problem, scorpion venoms have a potential biotechnological
application since they contain peptides that may be used as drug leads and/or to reveal …

Venom is a key innovation underlying the evolution of advanced snakes (Caenophidia).
Despite this, very little is known about venom system structural diversification, toxin …

This work offers a general overview on the evolving strategies for the proteomic analysis of
snake venoms, and discusses how these may be combined through diverse experimental …

Included among the more than 300 species of elapid snakes worldwide is the Australian
genus Demansia, or whip snakes. Despite evidence to suggest adverse clinical outcomes …

A joint transcriptomic and proteomic approach employing two-dimensional electrophoresis,
liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry was carried out to identify peptides and …

We analyzed the origin and evolution of snake venom toxin families represented in both
viperid and elapid snakes by means of phylogenetic analysis of the amino acid sequences …
