Structure and Function of Snake Venom Metalloproteinase Family [PDF]

Journal of Protein Chemistry, 1992
Venoms of snakes belonging to families Viperidae (viper) and Crotalidae (pit viper) produce striking local effects, consisting of hemorrhage, necrosis, and edema, and often induce marked alterations of blood coagulation system as well (Iwanaga and Suzuki, 1979). Among these pathological effects, hemorrhage is a most common occurrence in a victim bitten
