Snake venoms are complex mixtures of pharmacologically active peptides and proteins.
These protein toxins belong to a small number of superfamilies of proteins. Three-finger …

α-Neurotoxins have been isolated from hydrophid, elapid and, more recently, colubrid snake
venoms. Also referred to as postsynaptic neurotoxins or 'curare mimetic'neurotoxins, they …
