Crotalid Snake Venom Subproteomes Unraveled by the Antiophidic Protein DM43
, 2016 Snake venoms are mixtures of proteins and peptides with different biological activities, many of which are very toxic. Several animals, including the opossum Didelphis aurita, are resistant to snake venoms due to the presence of neutralizing factors in ...

Suramin inhibits the early effects of PLA(2) neurotoxins at mouse neuromuscular junctions: a twitch tension study [PDF]
, 2011 Several phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) neurotoxins from snake venoms can affect acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. In isolated nerve-muscle preparations three distinct phases have been described for this phenomenon: An initial transient ...

Qualitative and Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Venoms from Mexican Rattlesnakes. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel)Despite the vast biodiversity of Mexican vipers, venom of endemic species has been barely studied. Here we analyzed the venom composition of three endemic species of rattlesnakes: Crotalus aquilus, C. triseriatus, and C. ravus.

Bite First, Bleed Later: How Philippine <i>Trimeresurus</i> Pit Viper Venoms Hijack Blood Clotting. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel)The Philippines has a high diversity of venomous snake species, but there is minimal information on their envenomation effects. This is evidenced by the small number of case reports, the poor reporting of envenomation cases, and the absence of specific ...

North American Pit Viper Envenomation
MedEdPORTAL, 2015 Acute snake envenomation is an uncommon but potentially serious envenomation causing local tissue injury, hematologic derangements, and systemic effects. The purpose of this simulation is to present an acute snake envenomation case that allows residents,

Functional and Proteomic Insights into Aculeata Venoms
, 2023 Aculeate hymenopterans use their venom for a variety of different purposes. The venom of solitary aculeates paralyze and preserve prey without killing it, whereas social aculeates utilize their venom in defence of their colony.

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 This study was designed to investigate the cytotoxicity and haemotoxicity of the Western barred (zebra) spitting cobra (Naja nigricincta nigricincta) venom to help explain atypical and inconsistent reports on syndromes by Namibian physicians treating victims of human ophidian accidents. Freeze‐dried venom milked from adult zebra snakes was dissolved in

Advances in Bioinformatics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Color variation provides the opportunity to investigate the genetic basis of evolution and selection. Reptiles are less studied than mammals. Comparative genomics approaches allow for knowledge gained in one species to be leveraged for use in another species. We describe a comparative vertebrate analysis of conserved regulatory modules in pythons aimed
