How Snakes Resist Their Own Venom: Protein Combinations Could Inspire Better Antivenoms
Natural resistance to venom in snakes may offer a route toward more effective antivenoms. Researchers studying the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) examined metalloproteinase-inhibiting proteins circulating…
