- 1 October 2003
The evolution of venom in advanced snakes has been a focus of long-standing interest. Here we provide the first complete amino acid sequence of a colubrid toxin, which we have called α-colubritoxin,… Expand
Chironex fleckeri (Box Jellyfish) Venom Proteins
- D. Brinkman, N. Konstantakopoulos, +4 authors W. Hodgson
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 8 January 2014
Background: Box jellyfish produce a unique family of toxic venom proteins. Results: The toxins are structurally similar, yet two subgroups confer different cytolytic activities in red blood cells and… Expand
Novel venom proteins produced by differential domain-expression strategies in beaded lizards and gila monsters (genus Heloderma).
- B. Fry, K. Roelants, +8 authors J. Norman

- Yuh Fen Pung, P. T. Wong, P. Kumar, W. Hodgson, R. Kini
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 1 April 2005
We have identified, purified, and determined the complete amino acid sequence of a novel protein, ohanin from Ophiophagus hannah (king cobra) venom. It is a small protein containing 107 amino acid… Expand
Functional and Structural Diversification of the Anguimorpha Lizard Venom System*
