Proteins and peptides found in the venom of poisonous animals have contributed significantly to the development of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, as well as Biotechnology. Considering marked structural similarities between many of these biomolecules and some peptides and proteins found in other organisms, which enables them to interact specifically within biological systems, such tox…
Toxins found in venomous and poisonous animals have been the focus of much research over the past 70 years, most of them directed toward understanding the physiological and biochemical mechanisms by which can trigger their dramatic pathological effects. The crotalidae venom consists abundantly by enzymes and peptides that have important effects on skeletal muscles, nervous system, kidney…
Snake venom is composed by complex substances whose chemical composition and characteristics vary between different known species. The toxicity of the venom is due to the presence of enzymes and proteins, and varying concentrations which include: to neurotoxins, citotoxins, cardiotoxins and peptides. The L-amino acid oxidases (LAAOs, E.C. 1.4.3.2) are flavoproteins homodiméricas, which co…
