| Abstract | |
Technological advances have been contributing, more and more, with biological and scientific areas, offering computational tools and specific systems which in silico data analysis supply reliable and fast results. The present project considers the development of an Internet portal for installation and use of laboratory data base for the main Brazilian serpents, with its respective venom and natural anti-venom, and the analysis of obtained data in pharmacological assays and biochemists. Using the easiest way of communication and interaction, the Internet allows sharing of data and information between communities of researchers around the world, especially for Brazilian researchers, making resources and time possible. Elementary data about serpents have been stored in the data base, as well as toxic, pharmacological and enzymatic activities of venom components, besides biotechnological applications of the products that can be obtained from these venom, enclosing clinical data and statistical values of ophidian accidents. Biochemists aspects of the assays carried through in laboratory allowed the construction of a comparative analysis tool for primary structures of PLA2s, deposited in international data bases. Beyond interactivity between researchers, in discussion forums, the system counts with lists of main articles published in indexed periodic, duly and constantly updated with bibliographical revisions.
