Trimucytin, a Collagen-Like Snake Venom Protein, Activates Platelets Independent of I-Domain within Alpha 2 Subunit of Alpha 2 Beta 1 Int

, 2009
Trimucytin is a powerful platelet aggregation inducer isolated from the venom of Taiwan habu snake (Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus). In this study, we found that the snake venom protein, crovidisin, which prevents collagen -platelet interaction through its ...

Venomics of the Arabian saw-scaled viper (Echis coloratus) through transcriptome-guided proteomics and in vitro functional profiling.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
The Arabian saw-scaled viper (Echis coloratus) is among the snakes of highest medical relevance in the Middle East and North Africa. However, to date, its venom has been investigated in a very limited number of studies, and much remains unknown regarding

Inhibitory effects of plant phenolic compounds on enzymatic and cytotoxic activities by a snake venom phospholipase A2

, 2011
Polyphenolic compounds have shown to inhibit toxic effects induced by snake venom proteins. In this work, we demonstrate that gallic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, propylgallate and epigallocatechingallate inhibit the enzymatic activity of a phosphol ...

Biochemical and enzymatic characterization of BpMP-I, a fibrinogenolytic metalloproteinase isolated from Bothropoides pauloensis snake venom

, 2012
Snake Venom Metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are the most abundant components present in Viperidae venom. They are important in the induction of systemic alterations and local tissue damage after envenomation.

Snake venom L-amino acid oxidases

, 2002
L-amino acid oxidases are widely found in snake venoms and are thought to contribute to the toxicity upon envenomation. The mechanism of these toxic effects and whether they result from the enzymatic activity are still uncertain although many papers ...
