Viperous fangs: Development and evolution of the venom canal
Mechanisms of Development, 2008 Fangs are specialised long teeth that contain either a superficial groove (Gila monster, Beaded lizard, some colubrid snakes), along which the venom runs, or an enclosed canal (viperid, elapid and atractaspid), down which the venom flows inside the tooth. The fangs of viperid snakes are the most effective venom-delivery structures among vertebrates and

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