Crystal structure and functional characterization of an Asp49 phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> from the bushmaster (Lachesis muta). [PDF]
Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol CommunThe crystal structure of an Asp49 phospholipase A2 from L. muta is reported, revealing a tetrameric assembly, catalytic conservation and a polarized electrostatic surface potentially linked to membrane targeting.Snake‐venom phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are small, structurally conserved enzymes that contribute significantly to the pathophysiology of ...

Toxins, 2022 The Australasian region is home to the most diverse elapid snake radiation on the planet (Hydrophiinae). Many of these snakes have evolved into unique ecomorphs compared to elapids on other continents; however, their venom compositions are poorly known ...

The evolution of scale sensilla in the transition from land to sea in elapid snakes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Scale sensilla are small tactile mechanosensory organs located on the head scales of many squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes). In sea snakes and sea kraits (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae), these scale organs are presumptive scale sensilla that purportedly ...

Circular dichroic spectra of elapid cardiotoxins [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1988 Cardiotoxins isolated from elapid snake venoms constitute a chemically homogeneous family of molecules. Within this group several biologically different subclasses exist. We report a comparative analysis of the structure of 20 cardiotoxins using circular dichroism, immunological methods and secondary‐structure prediction.

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1987 Four patients were admitted with respiratory muscle paralysis following an elapid snake bite. Two were treated with antivenine, repeated doses of neostigmine and artificial ventilation; the other two with artificial ventilation only. There was no clinically significant difference in recovery.

Toxins, 2021 Bites from elapid snakes typically result in neurotoxic symptoms in snakebite victims. Neurotoxins are, therefore, often the focus of research relating to understanding the pathogenesis of elapid bites.

Pro-inflammatory activities in elapid snake venoms [PDF]
Toxicon, 1994 Snake venoms from the genera Micrurus (M. ibiboboca and M. spixii) and Naja (N. naja, N. melanoleuca and N. nigricollis) were analysed, using biological and immunochemical methods, to detect pro‐inflammatory activities, cobra venom factor (COF), proteolytic enzymes, thrombin‐like substances, haemorrhagic and oedema‐producing substances.
