The deep-rooted origin of disulfide-rich spider venom toxins
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "eLife"
DOI: 10.7554/elife.83761
Abstract: Spider venoms are a complex concoction of enzymes, polyamines, inorganic salts, and disulfide-rich peptides (DRPs). Although DRPs are widely distributed and abundant, their bevolutionary origin has remained elusive. This knowledge gap stems from the extensive… read more here.
