Development of a gold nanoparticle-based novel diagnostic prototype for in vivo detection of Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus) venom

Toxicon: X
Indian red scorpion Mesobuthus tamulus is responsible for substantial mortality in India and Sri Lanka; however, no specific diagnostic method is available to detect the venom of this scorpion in envenomed plasma or body fluid.

Whole Transcriptome of the Venom Gland from Urodacus yaschenkoi Scorpion.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Australian scorpion venoms have been poorly studied, probably because they do not pose an evident threat to humans. In addition, the continent has other medically important venomous animals capable of causing serious health problems.

The unfulfilled promises of scorpion insectotoxins

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2015
Since the description and biochemical characterization of the first insect-specific neurotoxins from scorpion venoms, almost all contributions have highlighted their potential application as leads for the development of potent bioinsecticides.

Characterization of Functional Effects of Two New Active Fractions Isolated From Scorpion Venom on Neuronal Ca2+ Spikes: A Possible Action on Ca2+-Dependent Dependent K+ Channels

Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2019
Introduction: It is a long time that natural toxin research is conducted to unlock the medical potential of toxins. Although venoms-toxins cause pathophysiological conditions, they may be effective to treat several diseases.

Atomic structure and plasticity of the CTX-MthK complex investigated by cryo-EM, NMR, and MD simulations

Nature Communications
Scorpion toxins block potassium channels, disrupting cellular excitability and causing symptoms such as pain, muscle spasms, or paralysis. Here, we use an integrated structural biology approach to uncover the binding mode of the scorpion toxin ...
