Biochemical characterisation and substrate-specific proteolytic diversity of venom metalloproteinases in African puff adders

Toxicon: X
The puff adder (Bitis arietans) is a highly venomous viper responsible for many snakebite fatalities in Africa, yet there have been few geographically comprehensive analyses of its venom proteins, particularly of the proteases that play a key role in ...

Crystal structure and functional characterization of an Asp49 phospholipase A2 from the bushmaster (Lachesis muta)

Acta Crystallographica Section F, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 150-159, May 2026.
The crystal structure of an Asp49 phospholipase A2 from L. muta is reported, revealing a tetrameric assembly, catalytic conservation and a polarized electrostatic surface potentially linked to membrane targeting.Snake‐venom phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are small, structurally conserved enzymes that contribute significantly to the pathophysiology of ...

Snake Venom Metalloproteinases from Puff Adder and Saw-Scaled Viper Venoms Cause Cytotoxic Effects in Human Keratinocytes

Toxins
Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that causes substantial mortality and morbidity globally. The puff adder (Bitis arietans) and saw-scaled viper (Echis romani) have cytotoxic venoms that cause permanent injury via dermonecrosis around ...

Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
A fluorescence assay enables sensitive detection of the activities of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMP) and serine proteases (SVSP) from viper venoms in buffer and serum. In combination with effective low‐molecular‐weight inhibitors such as ilomastat and nafamostat, this approach offers new prospects for the rapid diagnosis and adjunctive therapy of ...
