| danger in the reef: proteome, toxicity, and neutralization of the venom of the olive sea snake, aipysurus laevis. | four specimens of the olive sea snake, aipysurus laevis, were collected off the coast of western australia, and the venom proteome was characterized and quantitatively estimated by rp-hplc, sds-page, and maldi-tof-tof analyses. a. laevis venom is remarkably simple and consists of phospholipases a2 (71.2%), three-finger toxins (3ftx; 25.3%), cysteine-rich secretory proteins (crisp; 2.5%), and traces of a complement control module protein (ccm; 0.2%). using a toxicity score, the most lethal compon ... | 2015 | 26169672 |
