Small metabolites and peptides in 17 snake venoms (Elapidae, Viperinae, and Crotalinae), were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Each venom contains >900 metabolites and peptides. Many small organic compounds are present at levels that are probably significant in prey envenoma...
This study investigates the widespread cryptic Bungarus caeruleus (Comman krait) in India and clinical repercussions of their bits by implementing multidisciplinary approach involving proteomics, transcripomics, and assessment of toxicity and efficacy of currently marketed anivenoms. The study also ...
