Nat Commun
. 2023 Aug;
14(1):4861.
PMID: 37567881
Three-finger toxins (3FTXs) are a functionally diverse family of toxins, apparently unique to venoms of caenophidian snakes. Although the ancestral function of 3FTXs is antagonism of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, redundancy...

PMID: 33366501
In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Aquatic Coralsnake . The mitochondrial genome lengthis 17,375 bp, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA (12S and...

Toxins (Basel)
. 2020 May;

PMID: 32443716
Throughout most of the 20th century, the toxinological literature consisted largely of pharmacological and functional characterizations of crude venoms and venom constituents, often constituents that could not be identified unambiguously...

PMID: 30755823
NAD glycohydrolase (EC 3.2.2.5) (NADase) sequences have been identified in 10 elapid and crotalid venom gland transcriptomes, eight of which are complete. These sequences show very high homology, but elapid...

Toxins (Basel)
. 2018 Sep;
10(10).
PMID: 30261630
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...

. 2017 Oct;
9(10):2640-2649.
PMID: 29048530
Venoms are among the most biologically active secretions known, and are commonly believed to evolve under extreme positive selection. Many venom gene families, however, have undergone duplication, and are often...

PMID: 28594382
Venom gland transcriptomes and proteomes of six taxa (, , , , , and ) were investigated, providing the most comprehensive, quantitative data on venom composition to date, and more...

Toxins (Basel)
. 2016 Sep;
8(10).
PMID: 27681740
While decades of research have focused on snake venom proteins, far less attention has been paid to small organic venom constituents. Using mostly pooled samples, we surveyed 31 venoms (six...

BMC Genomics
. 2015 Aug;

PMID: 26315097
Background: While many studies have shown that extracellular proteins evolve rapidly, how selection acts on them remains poorly understood. We used snake venoms to understand the interaction between ecology, expression...

PMID: 24224955
Background: Advances in DNA sequencing and proteomics have facilitated quantitative comparisons of snake venom composition. Most studies have employed one approach or the other. Here, both Illumina cDNA sequencing and...
