Polyamines as Snake Toxins and Their Probable Pharmacological Functions in Envenomation
While decades of research have focused on snake venom proteins, far less attention has been paid to small organic venom constituents. Using mostly pooled samples, we surveyed 31 venoms (six elapid, six viperid, and 19 crotalid) for spermine, spermidine ...
