Using yeast two-hybrid system and molecular dynamics simulation to detect venom protein-protein interactions [PDF]
Current Research in Toxicology, 2021 Proteins and peptides are major components of snake venom. Venom protein transcriptomes and proteomes of many snake species have been reported; however, snake venom complexity (i.e., the venom protein-protein interactions, PPIs) remains largely unknown ...
