Venomic and pharmacological activity of Acanthoscurria paulensis (Theraphosidae) spider venom

Toxicon, 2013
In the present study we conducted proteomic and pharmacological characterizations of the venom extracted from the Brazilian tarantula Acanthoscurria paulensis, and evaluated the cardiotoxicity of its two main fractions. The molecular masses of the venom components were identified by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) after chromatographic separation ...
