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

Toxins, 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

Brazilian 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.

Envenomation with Snake Venoms as a Cause of Death: A Forensic Investigation of the Decomposition Stages and the Impact on Differential Succession Pattern of Carcass-Attracted Coleopteran Beetles

Insects
Background: Coleoptera is the second-most significant insect group associated with decomposing carcasses, yet its role in the decomposition process and postmortem colonization following envenomation is poorly understood.

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

Journal 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.

Expression of the First Recombinant Anti-Tumoral Snake Venom Kunitz-Type Serine Protease Inhibitor

Toxins, 2022
PIVL is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor that was previously characterized from Tunisian snake venom, Macrovipera lebetina transmediterranea. It reduced glioblastoma cells’ development and significantly blocked angiogenesis in in-vitro and ex-vivo

A Lightweight Procedural Layer for Hybrid Experimental–Computational Workflows in Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We unveil a prototype hybrid‐workflow framework that fuses automatedcomputation with hands‐on experiments. Built atop pyiron, a lightweight, parameterized layer translates procedure descriptions into executable manual steps, syncing instrument settings, human interventions, and data capture in real‐time today.
