Differential Effects of Marimastat and Prinomastat on the Metalloprotease Activity of Various Snake Venoms [PDF]
ToxinsSnakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease, responsible for approximately 140,000 deaths globally each year. Vipers and elapid snakes represent the most significant snake families in medical contexts, exhibiting a variety of venom components ...

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.

Hymenoptera Allergens: From Venom to “Venome” [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 In Western Europe, Hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA) primarily relates to venoms of the honeybee and the common yellow jacket. In contrast to other allergen sources, only a few major components of Hymenoptera venoms had been characterized until recently.

Multilevel comparison of Indian Naja venoms and their cross-reactivity with Indian polyvalent antivenoms [PDF]
, 2023 Snake envenoming is caused by many biological species, rather than a single infectious agent, each with a multiplicity of toxins in their venom. Hence, developing effective treatments is challenging, especially in biodiverse and biogeographically complex

Qualitative and Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Venoms from Mexican Rattlesnakes. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel)Despite the vast biodiversity of Mexican vipers, venom of endemic species has been barely studied. Here we analyzed the venom composition of three endemic species of rattlesnakes: Crotalus aquilus, C. triseriatus, and C. ravus.

, 2023 Bothrops venoms are rich in enzymes acting on platelets and coagulation. This action is dependent on two major co-factors, i.e., calcium and phospholipids, while antivenoms variably neutralize venom-related coagulopathy effects.

Quo Vadis Venomics? A Roadmap to Neglected Venomous Invertebrates
Toxins, 2014 Venomics research is being revolutionized by the increased use of sensitive -omics techniques to identify venom toxins and their transcripts in both well studied and neglected venomous taxa.

Discovering Venom-Derived Drug Candidates Using Differential Gene Expression
Toxins, 2023 Venoms are a diverse and complex group of natural toxins that have been adapted to treat many types of human disease, but rigorous computational approaches for discovering new therapeutic activities are scarce.
