      Protein composition, toxicity, and neutralization of the venoms of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis, two sympatric monadal coral snakes found in humid environments of the Caribbean region of Costa Rica, were ...
    • Venoms of Micrurus coral snakes: evolutionary trends in compositional patterns emerging from proteomic analyses 

      Lomonte, Bruno; Rey Suárez, Paola; Fernández Ulate, Julián; Sasa Marín, Mahmood; Pla Ferrer, Davinia; Vargas Vargas, Nancy; Bénard Valle, Melisa; Sanz, Libia; Corrêa Netto, Carlos; Núñez Rangel, Vitelbina; Alape Girón, Alberto; Alagón Cano, Alejandro; Gutiérrez, José María; Calvete Chornet, Juan José (2016-11)
      The application of proteomic tools to the study of snake venoms has led to an impressive growth in the knowledge about their composition (venomics), immunogenicity (antivenomics), and toxicity (toxicovenomics). About ...
