Proteomic and toxicological analysis of the venom of Micrurus yatesi and its neutralization by an antivenom
(2022)
Coralsnakes belong to the family Elapidae and possess venoms which are lethal to humans and can be grouped based on the predominance of either three finger toxins (3FTxs) or phospholipases A2 (PLA2s). A proteomic and ...
