Understanding the role of intramolecular ion-pair interactions in conformational stability using an ab initio thermodynamic cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Intramolecular ion-pair interactions yield shape and functionality to many molecules. With proper orientation, these interactions overcome steric factors and are responsible for the compact structures of several peptides. In this study, we present a thermodynamic cycle based on isoelectronic and alchemical mutation to estimate intramolecular ion-pair ...

Secreted Phospholipases A2 of Snake Venoms: Effects on the Peripheral Neuromuscular System with Comments on the Role of Phospholipases A2 in Disorders of the CNS and Their Uses in Industry

open access: yesToxins, 2013
Neuro- and myotoxicological signs and symptoms are significant clinical features of envenoming snakebites in many parts of the world. The toxins primarily responsible for the neuro and myotoxicity fall into one of two categories—those that bind to and ...

Two related thrombin-like enzymes present in Bothrops atrox venom

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
This article describes the presence of two new forms of a thrombin-like enzyme, both with apparent molecular masses of 38 kDa, in Bothrops atrox venom. Both share the ability to cleave fibrinogen into fibrin and to digest casein.

A C-type lectin from Bothrops jararacussu venom can adhere to extracellular matrix proteins and induce the rolling of leukocytes

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2007
Purification of a lectin from Bothrops jararacussu venom (BjcuL) was carried out using agarose-D-galactose affinity gel. MALDI-TOF gave a major signal at m/z 32028, suggesting the presence of a dimmer composed of two identical subunits.

Beyond spider personality: The relationships between behavioral, physiological, and environmental factors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Spiders are useful models for testing different hypotheses and methodologies relating to animal personality and behavioral syndromes because they show a range of behavioral types and unique physiological traits (e.g., silk and venom) that are not ...

Bioactive peptides from venoms against glioma progression

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
Venoms are complex mixtures of different molecules and ions. Among them, bioactive peptides have been found to affect cancer hallmarks, such as cell proliferation, cell invasion, cell migration, and can also modulate the immune response of normal and ...
