Molecular diversity of spider venom [PDF]
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2009 Spider venom, a factor that has played a decisive role in the evolution of one of the most successful groups of living organisms, is reviewed. Unique molecular diversity of venom components including substances of variable structure (from simple low molecular weight compounds to large multidomain proteins) with different functions is considered ...

Spider Venoms and Spider Toxins
Journal of Toxicology: Toxin Reviews, 1998AbstractSpider venoms and toxins are useful tools for the study of ion channels and synaptic functions of neurons in vertebrates and invertebrates. The components of spider venom, such as proteins, peptides, polyamines and bioamines, are species-specific. The various functions of these toxins are reviewed in this paper.

Funnelweb–Spider Venom Antagonist
Medical Journal of Australia, 1980It was found in a series of experiments on anaesthetized monkeys that rat plasma and rat euglobulin fractions contain a substance which could offer some protection against funnelweb-spider envenomation when administered before envenomation or simultaneously with the funnelweb-spider venom. Further work to isolate, identify, and purify this substance is

Pharmacology and biochemistry of spider venoms
Toxicon, 2002Spider venoms represent an incredible source of biologically active substances which selectively target a variety of vital physiological functions in both insects and mammals. Many toxins isolated from spider venoms have been invaluable in helping to determine the role and diversity of neuronal ion channels and the process of exocytosis.

Neurotoxins from Spider Venoms [PDF]
, 2002 In his excellent book “Arachnida,” rich in learned citations, T. Savory (1) writes: “The spider is the dominant arachnid; it surpasses all others in the number and variety of its species, in the complexity of its habits, and in the breadth of its range across the world.

Spider Venomics: Implications for Drug Discovery
Future Medicinal Chemistry, 2014Over a period of more than 300 million years, spiders have evolved complex venoms containing an extraordinary array of toxins for prey capture and defense against predators. The major components of most spider venoms are small disulfide-bridged peptides that are highly stable and resistant to proteolytic degradation.

Spider Venoms and Their Effect [PDF]
, 1987 In principle, with the exception of some groups of spiders which have no venom glands at all (e.g. Uloboridae and Holarchaea) all spiders with any kind of venom apparatus must be considered as venomous, if not always for man, then perhaps for other animals, or at least for insects, their usual prey.
