Correlation of Venom Toxinome Composition of Indian Red Scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus) with Clinical Manifestations of Scorpion Stings: Failure of Commercial Antivenom to Immune-Recognize the Abundance of Low Molecular Mass Toxins of This Venom

, 2020
The Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus), with its life-threatening sting, is the world's most dangerous species of scorpion. The toxinome composition of M. tamulus venom was determined by tandem mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of venom protein bands

Fractionation of scorpion venom peptides and their opioid activities.

, 2013
(A) Scorpion venom was fractionated on a prep C18 column using a preparative HPLC system. One hundred milligrams of peptide samples were loaded per run. Fractions were eluted with a 50 min linear gradient from 5% B (ACN with 0.05% (v/v) TFA) to 35% B at ...

Short-Chained Linear Scorpion Peptides: A Pool for Novel Antimicrobials

Antibiotics
Scorpion venom peptides are generally classified into two main groups: the disulfide bridged peptides (DBPs), which usually target membrane-associated ion channels, and the non-disulfide bridged peptides (NDBPs), a smaller group with multifunctional ...
