In vitro nephrotoxicity of Russell's viper venom
Kidney International, 1995 To assess direct nephrotoxicity of Russell's viper venom (RVV; Daboia russelii siamensis), isolated rat kidneys were perfused in single pass for 120 min. Ten micrograms/ml and 100 micrograms/ml RVV were administered 60 minutes and 80 minutes, respectively, after starting the perfusion.

SFR estimations from z=0 to z=0.9 -- A comparison of SFR calibrators for star-forming galaxies [PDF]
A&A 667, A29 (2022), 2022 Using VIPERS, we estimated a set of SFR based on photometric and spectroscopic data. We used, as estimators, photometric bands from ultraviolet to mid-infrared, and spectral lines. Assuming a reference SFR obtained from the spectral energy distribution reconstructed with Code Investigating GALaxy Emission, we estimated the reliability of each band as ...

The electronic structure and dipole moment of charybdotoxin, a scorpion venom peptide with K+ channel blocking activity [PDF]
Computational and Theoretical Chemistry 963 (2011) 384-393, 2010 The electronic structure of charybdotoxin (ChTX), a scorpion venom peptide that is known to act as a potassium channel blocker, is investigated with the aid of quantum mechanical calculations. The dipole moment vector (145 D) of ChTX can be stirred by the full length KcsA potassium channel's macrodipole (403 D) thereby assuming the proper orientation ...

Viper Venom Disintegrins and Related Molecules
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1998 The term "disintegrin" was first used in 1990 to describe a group of viper venom-derived, nonenzymatic small proteins that shared numerous structural and functional properties. These proteins, which have been found in a great number of viper species studied since that time possess both a remarkable sequence homology and an equally notable variability ...

Watch out Venomous Snake Species: A Solution to SnakeCLEF2023 [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The SnakeCLEF2023 competition aims to the development of advanced algorithms for snake species identification through the analysis of images and accompanying metadata. This paper presents a method leveraging utilization of both images and metadata. Modern CNN models and strong data augmentation are utilized to learn better representation of images.

Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of viper venom serine proteases [PDF]
Bioinformation, 2012 Snakebites are a major neglected tropical disease responsible for as many as 95000 deaths every year worldwide. Viper venom serine proteases disrupt haemostasis of prey and victims by affecting various stages of the blood coagulation system. A better understanding of their sequence, structure, function and phylogenetic relationships will improve the ...
