Snake venom toxins are responsible for causing severe pathology and toxicity following
envenomation including necrosis, apoptosis, neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, cardiotoxicity …

Venom as a form of chemical prey capture is a key innovation that has underpinned the
explosive radiation of the advanced snakes (Caenophidia). Small venom proteins are often …

Snake venoms, as complex mixtures of peptides and proteins, affect various vital systems of
the organism. One of the main targets of the toxic components from snake venoms is the …

Snake venom contains a diverse array of proteins and polypeptides. Cytotoxins and short
neurotoxins are non-enzymatic polypeptide components of snake venom. The three …

Cytotoxins (or cardiotoxins; CTs) are toxins from cobra venom characterized by the three-
finger (TF) fold. CTs are on average 60-residue-long peptides, possessing as many as 4 …

A lethal cardiotoxic–cytotoxic protein (mol. wt. 6.76 kDa) has been purified from the Indian
monocellate cobra (Naja kaouthia) venom by ion-exchange chromatography and HPLC. CD …

The three‐dimensional structures of some components of snake venoms forming so‐called
'three‐fingered protein'domains (TFPDs) are similar to those of the ectodomains of activin …

Cardiotoxins (CaTx) of the three-finger toxin family are one of the main components of cobra
venoms. Depending on the structure of the N-terminal or the central polypeptide loop, they …

Cytotoxins are positively charged polypeptides that constitute about 60% of all proteins in
cobra venom; they have a wide spectrum of biological activities. By CD spectroscopy …

Bungarus multicinctus α-bungarotoxin (α-Bgt) and Naja atra cardiotoxins (CTXs) share a
common structural scaffold, and their tertiary structures adopt three-fingered loop motifs …
