This project proceeds the work developed by the group (FAPESP 1999/02675-6, 2004/09664-0, 2008/55469-5). The results obtained were the sequence of crotamine and crotasin genes, the relationship between the crotamine concentration in venom and the gene copy number, as well the antibiotic activity of crotamine. The crotamine is a myotoxin from the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus rattl…
