Scorpion are known to use a cocktail of toxins to immobilize their prey. So, their venoms constitute a complex mixture of polypeptides exhibiting different pharmacological activities. These polypeptides are small (between 30 and 70 amino acids long), basic and highly reticulated (3 or 4 disulfide bridges).

The antigenic structure of a scorpion toxin
Molecular Immunology, 1989Scorpion toxins constitute a family of homologous proteins that exert potent pharmacological effects on ion channels. These proteins are immunogenic and constitute a good model for investigation of the molecular basis of antigenicity. In the first part of this article we summarize the results we have obtained in recent years concerning the location of ...

Radioiodination of scorpion and snake toxins
Analytical Biochemistry, 1977Abstract Several scorpion and snake toxins were radioiodinated using the lactoperoxydase method of [125I]iodide oxidation. Two techniques of labeling were set up: (i) Using carrier-free Na125I and 5 μg of toxin, about one iodine atom was incorporated per mole of protein without loss of toxicity.
