Complex compositional and functional diversity of venom metalloproteinases in African puff adders

2024-06-03

Abstract excerpt

The puff adder ( Bitis arietans ) is a highly venomous viper responsible for many fatalities in Africa, yet there have been few comprehensive analyses of its venom proteins, particularly of the proteases that play a key role in pathology of envenoming. To address this, we have isolated, identified and characterised the bioactivity of the venom metalloproteases of puff adders obtained from a wide range of sources....
