Biochemical comparison of venoms from young Colombian Crotalus durissus cumanensis and their parents
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010 Crotalus durissus cumanensis, a rattlesnake endemic to Colombia and Venezuela, is considered one of the most lethal snake species in Latin America. The aim of the present study was to compare the protein content and biological activity of the venom ...

Snake venoms and hemostasis [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2005 Snake venoms are complex mixtures of biologically active proteins and peptides. Many of them affect hemostasis by activating or inhibiting coagulant factors or platelets, or by disrupting endothelium. Based on sequence, these snake venom components have been classified into various families, such as serine proteases, metalloproteinases, C-type lectins,

Organic and Peptidyl Constituents of Snake Venoms: The Picture Is Vastly More Complex Than We Imagined [PDF]
, 2018 Small metabolites and peptides in 17 snake venoms (Elapidae, Viperinae, and Crotalinae), were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Each venom contains >900 metabolites and peptides.
