Age-related biological activity of South American rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus terrificus) venom
An in vitro and in vivo comparative study was performed on the effects of Crotalus durissus terrificus venoms from a mother and its 15 newborns. The venoms were tested for protein content, lethality, proteolytic, myotoxic, hemorrhagic, and phospholipase ...

Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of viper venom serine proteases [PDF]
Snakebites are a major neglected tropical disease responsible for as many as 95000 deaths every year worldwide. Viper venom serine proteases disrupt haemostasis of prey and victims by affecting various stages of the blood coagulation system.

Técnica de inseminação artificial em Crotalus durissus terrificus (Viperidae-Crotalinae)
Machos e fêmeas (n= 12) de Crotalus durissus terrificus, nascidos em cativeiro foram usados para testar a técnica de Inseminação Artificial. O esperma diluído foi introduzido na vagina e após 120 dias, 3 fêmeas foram dissecadas para exame. Outras 3 tiverarn a gestação levada a termo e produziram filhotes normais. Não foram observados ovos atrésicos.

Characterization of a human coagulation factor Xa-binding site on Viperidae snake venom phospholipases A2 by affinity binding studies and molecular bioinformatics [PDF]
Background: The snake venom group IIA secreted phospholipases A2 (SVPLA2), present in the Viperidae snake family exhibit a wide range of toxic and pharmacological effects. They exert their different functions by catalyzing the hydrolysis of phospholipids

Structure-function relationship for the highly toxic crotoxin from Crotalus durissus terrificus
The three-dimensional structure of the highly toxic crotoxin from Crotalus durissus terrificus was modelled based on sequence analysis and the refined structure of calcium-free phospholipase of Crotalus atrox venom. Small-angle x-ray scattering experiments were performed on aqueous solutions of crotoxin.
