The North Region of Brazil has the highest incidence of snakebite cases, with 52 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Bothrops atrox is the snake that causes most snakebites in the Brazilian Amazon. Mortality from these accidents is low, however morbidity resulting from local effects is high. The local effects are mainly a result of the proteolytic action of snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMP…
Proteolytic enzymes and phospholipases are key components in the venom of snakes, especially in viperids. They are involved in the capture and digestion of prey acting on several targets important for the control of hemostasis and also contribute to the digestion of tissues. In this project, we will evaluate the activities of phospholipases, serine proteinases and metalloproteinases in th…
The variability in venom composition is suggested as a key factor in the occupation of different ecological niches by the advanced snakes. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying snake venom variability are still not entirely clear and this information provides important clues to the understanding of the main mechanisms of adaptation to different environments. The venom from rattlesn…
