Heterologous expression, protein folding and antibody recognition of a neurotoxin from the Mexican coral snake Micrurus laticorallis

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2016
Background The cysteine-rich neurotoxins from elapid venoms are primarily responsible for human and animal envenomation; however, their low concentration in the venom may hamper the production of efficient elapid antivenoms.

Discovery of Neuroprotective Venom‐Derived Candidates From Naja Mandalayensis in mHippoE‐18 Cells Via Fractionation and Proteomic Mapping

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2026.
Venom‐derived peptide diversity from Naja mandalayensis reveals bioactive subfractions capable of modulating neuronal oxidative stress responses. Integration of RP‐HPLC fractionation and proteomics identifies toxin families associated with improved mitochondrial function and cellular integrity in mHippoE‐18 cells, supporting venoms as a platform for ...

Platelet Desialylation Is a Novel Mechanism and Therapeutic Target in Daboia siamensis and Agkistrodon halys Envenomation-Induced Thrombocytopenia

Molecules, 2022
Venom-induced thrombocytopenia (VIT) is one of the most important hemotoxic effects of a snakebite, which is often associated with venom-induced consumptive coagulopathy (VICC).

Differential destructive (non-clotting) fibrinogenolytic activity in Afro-Asian elapid snake venoms and the links to defensive hooding behavior

, 2019
Envenomations by venomous snakes have major public health implications on a global scale. Despite its medical importance, snakebite has long been a neglected tropical disease by both governments and medical science.

The diversity of bioactive proteins in Australian snake venoms [PDF]

, 2007
Australian elapid snakes are among the most venomous in the world. Their venoms contain multiple components that target blood hemostasis, neuromuscular signaling, and the cardiovascular system.

Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Identification and structural characterization of a new three-finger toxin hemachatoxin from Hemachatus haemachatus venom. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Snake venoms are rich sources of biologically active proteins and polypeptides. Three-finger toxins are non-enzymatic proteins present in elapid (cobras, kraits, mambas and sea snakes) and colubrid venoms.

Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Snakebite envenomation affects between 1.8 and 5.5 million people annually, many of whom suffer disabilities or even death. Current antivenoms are composed of plasma‐derived antibodies. However, there remains an underexplored opportunity to utilise polymer‐based nanoparticles.
