When compared to short-chain neurotoxins isolated from cobras in China, α-EPTX-Na1a contained novel residues K47Q (i.e. lysine to glutamine), N48T (i.e. asparagine to threonine) and G49A (i.e. glycine to alanine). In conclusion, α-EPTX-Na1a is a potent, pseudo-irreversible, short-chain neurotoxin. The high prevalence of α-EPTX-Na1a in Chinese N. atra venom is likely to explain the mild neurotoxicity experienced by envenomed patients.]]> Tue 28 Nov 2023 12:09:36 AEDT ]]> Isolation and Characterization of Two Postsynaptic Neurotoxins From Indian Cobra (Naja Naja) Venom https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51188 Thu 24 Aug 2023 14:39:11 AEST ]]> The Effect of Australian and Asian Commercial Antivenoms in Reversing the Post-Synaptic Neurotoxicity of O. hannah, N. naja and N. kaouthia Venoms In Vitro https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51189 Thu 24 Aug 2023 14:38:05 AEST ]]> Isolation and Pharmacological Characterization of α-Elapitoxin-Oh3a, a Long-Chain Post-Synaptic Neurotoxin From King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) Venom https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51342 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:34:38 AEST ]]>
