Toxins (Basel)Snakebite envenoming is often discussed in terms of lethality and limb loss, but local tissue injury and coagulotoxic effects of venom are significantly more common acute manifestations of snakebite envenoming (SBE).

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.

Non-conventional toxins from Elapid venoms
Toxicon, 2003 Non-conventional toxins constitute a poorly characterized class of three-finger toxins isolated exclusively from Elapidae venoms. These toxins are monomers of 62-68 amino acid residues and contain five disulfide bridges. However, unlike alpha/kappa-neurotoxins and kappa-neurotoxins which have the fifth disulfide bridge in their middle loop (loop II ...

Molecular Evolution and Phylogeny of Elapid Snake Venom Three-Finger Toxins [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2003 Animal venom components are of considerable interest to researchers across a wide variety of disciplines, including molecular biology, biochemistry, medicine, and evolutionary genetics. The three-finger family of snake venom peptides is a particularly interesting and biochemically complex group of venom peptides, because they are encoded by a large ...

High-content fluorescence bioassay investigates pore formation, ion channel modulation and cell membrane lysis induced by venoms. [PDF]
Toxicon XVenoms comprise highly sophisticated bioactive molecules modulating ion channels, receptors, coagulation factors, and the cellular membranes. This array of targets and bioactivities requires advanced high-content bioassays to facilitate the development ...

Immunoreactivity of eastern small eyed snake (Cryptophis nigrescens) venom towards species‐specific antibodies of five medically important venomous Australian elapids [PDF]
Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 102, Issue 9, Page 485-488, September 2024.The eastern small eyed snake (Cryptophis nigrescens; CN) is an uncommon cause of snakebite in Australia despite the widespread distribution of the snake along the east coast of Australia. Diagnosis of envenomation relies on identification of the snake which is often not possible with animal snakebite cases.
