Evolution: Fangtastic Venoms Underpin Parasitic Mimicry [PDF]
, 2017 Venomous teeth are rare in fishes, which typically utilise spines for defence. A new study reveals the evolutionary origins of fangs and venom in the Nemophini blennies and shows that, in contrast to snakes and lizards, the fangs pre-date the ...

Characterisation of three alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides from the venom of Scorpio maurus palmatus. [PDF]
, 2016 Scorpion venoms provide a rich source of anti-microbial peptides. Here we characterise three from the venom of Scorpion maurus palmatus. Smp13 is biologically inactive, despite sharing homology with other antimicrobial peptides, probably because it lacks

Venoms of Iranian Scorpions (Arachnida, Scorpiones) and Their Potential for Drug Discovery [PDF]
Molecules, 2019 Scorpions, a characteristic group of arthropods, are among the earliest diverging arachnids, dating back almost 440 million years. One of the many interesting aspects of scorpions is that they have venom arsenals for capturing prey and defending against predators, which may play a critical role in their evolutionary success.
