      It was also shown that M. corallinus natriuretic peptide is more similar to a natriuretic peptide characterized from the Elapidic snake Dendroaspis angusticeps (Schweitz, 1992) than to the B. jararaca CNP characterized from the viperidic snake Bothrops jararaca (Murayama et al., 1997).
    • 1998, A.M. Soares, L.H. Anzaloni Pedrosa, M.R.M. Fontes, R.J. Da Silva, J.R. Giglio, “Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a tool for the taxonomic identification of snakes from the Elapidae and Viperidae families”, in Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins, volume 4, number 2:
      Thus, 2 elapidic and 13 viperidic venoms were analyzed by basic PAGE, from which characteristic electrophoretic patterns could be obtained (Figure 1A).

Fontes, “Structural and functional studies of a bothropic myotoxin complexed to rosmarinic acid: new insights into Lys49-PLA2 inhibition”, in PloS One, volume 6, number 12:
      One of the main problems regarding viperidic accidents is prominent local tissue damage whose pathogenesis is complex and involves the combined actions of a variety of venom components.
