Gene expression analysis by ESTs sequencing of the Brazilian frog Phyllomedusa nordestina skin glands [PDF]
, 2013 The subfamily Phyllomedusinae has attracted a great interest of many researchers mainly due to the high diversity of these frog species and plethora of pharmacological activities frequently observed for their skin secretions. Despite of this fact, mainly

Convergent Total Synthesis of 16β‐Hydroxylpseudobufarenogin
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.We present a novel convergent strategy that integrates Pd/Ag‐promoted Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with Ir‐catalyzed radical‐relay cyclization, enabling the first total synthesis of 16β‐hydroxylpseudobufarenogin. This approach is broadly applicable to the total synthesis of various oxygenated bufadienolides by simply modifying the fragment structures ...

Stabilising the Integrity of Snake Venom mRNA Stored under Tropical Field Conditions Expands Research Horizons. [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND Snake venoms contain many proteinaceous toxins that can cause severe pathology and mortality in snakebite victims. Interestingly, mRNA encoding such toxins can be recovered directly from venom, although yields are low and quality is unknown ...

Characterisation of three alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides from the venom of Scorpio maurus palmatus. [PDF]
, 2016 Scorpion venoms provide a rich source of anti-microbial peptides. Here we characterise three from the venom of Scorpion maurus palmatus. Smp13 is biologically inactive, despite sharing homology with other antimicrobial peptides, probably because it lacks

The Scientific World Journal, 2014 The defensive skin secretions of many amphibians are a rich source of bradykinins and bradykinin-related peptides (BRPs). Members of this peptide group are also common components of reptile and arthropod venoms due to their multiple biological functions

Protease inhibitors from marine venomous animals and their counterparts in terrestrial venomous animals [PDF]
, 2013 The Kunitz-type protease inhibitors are the best-characterized family of serine protease inhibitors, probably due to their abundance in several organisms.

Tempo and Mode of the Evolution of Venom and Poison in Tetrapods [PDF]
, 2016 Toxic weaponry in the form of venom and poison has evolved in most groups of animals, including all four major lineages of tetrapods. Moreover, the evolution of such traits has been linked to several key aspects of the biology of toxic animals including ...

Venom Evolution: Gene Loss Shapes Phenotypic Adaptation [PDF]
, 2016 Snake venoms are variable protein mixtures with a multitude of bioactivities. New work shows, surprisingly, that it is the loss of toxin-encoding genes that strongly influences venom function in rattlesnakes, highlighting how gene loss can underpin ...
