Protamines of Reptiles [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
We have characterized for the first time the complete primary structure of the main protamine components of the sperm from four reptiles: Chrysemys picta (turtle), Elaphe obsoleta (snake), Anolis carolinensis (lizard), and Alligator mississipiensis (crocodilian).

Nidoviruses in Reptiles: A Review [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Since their discovery in 2014, reptile nidoviruses (also known as serpentoviruses) have emerged as significant pathogens worldwide. They are known for causing severe and often fatal respiratory disease in various captive snake species, especially pythons.

Hyperpolarization Modulation of the T‐Type hCav3.2 Channel by Human Synenkephalin [1–53], a Shrew Neurotoxin Analogue without Paralytic Effects

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Human synenkephalin [1–53] (hSYN), an analogue peptide of shrew saliva neurotoxins, was synthesized and its structural characteristics studied. Synthetic hSYN potently activated the T‐type voltage‐gated Ca channel hCav3.2 but did not paralyze mealworms. These findings offer new insight into neurological disorder treatment and evolutionary mechanisms of

Parasites in pet reptiles [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2011
Abstract Exotic reptiles originating from the wild can be carriers of many different pathogens and some of them can infect humans. Reptiles imported into Slovenia from 2000 to 2005, specimens of native species taken from the wild and captive bred species were investigated.
