Venomics: A Treasure for Drug Discovery and the Development of Strategies against Envenomation

Viper proteins and peptides are also primarily rich in disulfide structures, which are highly thermostable, chemically stable, and their resistance to digestive enzymes such as proteases. Some scientists are using more sophisticated methods such as high performance liquid chromatography - high performance liquid chromatography, MALDI matrix assisted laser desorption ionization, electrospray. Enables research on protein-based poisons.

How to bite: The snake injecting the venom uses the modified salivary glands. Poison is a modified form of saliva that may evolve to aid chemical digestion. Different degrees of toxicity can also help kill prey. In the venom (infusion of venom or poison bite), the venom enters the snake's fang through the catheter from the venom gland and finally enters the prey. Snake venom is a combination of many substances with different actions. Briefly, these proteins can be divided into four categories.

Note: Not all toxic snake bites are correct. However, any animal bites are at risk of tetanus, and anyone suffering from snake bite should seek medical assistance. Antitoxin sera can not be cured, they are just aid to the treatment of bites. The above mortality rate is for intestinal bites, the death rate is 2%, the mortality rate is 2 to 5%, the mild is 5 to 15%.

The most effective antitoxin that is most likely to be derived from the Australian snake snake is produced in Australia and the most widely distributed antitoxin of the tiger (presumed 40-60% mortality). Because the yellow abdomen is very rare, no estimate of death has been made. It is actually the third most dangerous rattlesnake in North America, and the wooden rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) lives in the densely populated northeastern United States. This snake certainly causes the fear and respect of the settlers, not the American history, on the flag of the famous Gadsden (not stepping on me).

Death is rare, but it is said that the poison of Minokashago is very painful. The venom will be rapidly denatured as a complex protein and the victim will encourage the heat to be applied to the affected area via hot water or hair drier. No doubt, you need to pay attention, otherwise burns and burns may be more problematic than poison. In addition to adding more unpleasant memories, urine and vinegar have no effect. Especially in places where they are hunted, the actions of Minokashigo may change. Case evidence in several areas indicates that they are changing their behavior to accommodate the time the diving center is active or time to migrate to deeper water bodies. Within their natural range, Minnowsago occasionally uses divers as a cover during hunting, and profits from disarrangement among smaller prey species.
