Venoms, venomics, antivenomics [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2009 Venoms comprise mixtures of peptides and proteins tailored by Natural Selection to act on vital systems of the prey or victim. Here we review our proteomic protocols for uncoiling the composition, immunological profile, and evolution of snake venoms. Our long‐term goal is to gain a deep insight of all viperid venom proteomes.
