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 ...

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 ...

Purified zymogens reveal mechanisms of snake venom metalloproteinase auto-activation

eLife
Snake venoms contain diverse mixtures of toxins that evolved to incapacitate prey, but in humans, they cause extensive pathology following snakebite envenomation. In viper venom, some of the most potent toxins are the haemorrhagic and coagulopathic snake

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 ...

"Dabsylated Bradykinin Is Cleaved by Snake Venom Proteases from Echis ocellatus"

The vasoactive peptide bradykinin (BK) is an important member of the renin–angiotensin system. Its discovery is tightly interwoven with snake venom research, because it was first detected in plasma following the addition of viper venom.
