Spider Neurotoxins, Short Linear Cationic Peptides and Venom Protein Classification Improved by an Automated Competition between Exhaustive Profile HMM Classifiers [PDF]
Toxins, 2017 Spider venoms are rich cocktails of bioactive peptides, proteins, and enzymes that are being intensively investigated over the years. In order to provide a better comprehension of that richness, we propose a three-level family classification system for ...

Prospects and challenges of recombinant spider venom enzymes: insights from Loxosceles and Phoneutria venom protease expressions [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologySpiders use chemically complex venoms to overpower prey. Such venoms are primarily composed of neurotoxic disulfide-rich peptides, linear peptides, and enzymes.

Spider-Venom Peptides as Bioinsecticides [PDF]
Toxins, 2012 Over 10,000 arthropod species are currently considered to be pest organisms. They are estimated to contribute to the destruction of ~14% of the world’s annual crop production and transmit many pathogens. Presently, arthropod pests of agricultural and health significance are controlled predominantly through the use of chemical insecticides ...

Venomous spiders of Albania –does an increase of temperature influence the toxicity of spider venom?
Toxicon: X, 2022 Black widow spiders (Latrodectus sp.) are distributed worldwide, and in Albania the L. tredecimguttatus Rossi, 1790 has been the dominant spider. Other medically important spiders in Albania include the brown recluse with symptoms known as loxoscelism, the false black widow and the egg sac spiders; the last two inducing similar symptoms to a wasp sting.
