The Development of the Skull of the Egyptian Cobra Naja h. haje (Squamata: Serpentes: Elapidae)
BACKGROUND The study of craniofacial development is important in understanding the ontogenetic processes behind morphological diversity. A complete morphological description of the embryonic skull development of the Egyptian cobra, Naja h. haje, is lacking and there has been little comparative discussion of skull development either among elapid snakes or between them and other snakes. METHODO...
متن کاملProteomic characterization of the thermostable toxins from Naja naja venom
Naja naja snake venom presents abundant thermostable peptides. Many of them possess useful pharmacological activity that may be employed for drug development. For the proteomic characterization of such toxins, in the present study, Naja naja venom solution was heated up to 100°C for 10, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 300 minutes and protein fractions of non-heated and heated venom were analyzed by twodim...
متن کاملCHARACTERIZATION OF AN ANTICOAGULANT AGENT IN THE VENOM OF IRANIAN COBRA (NAJA NAJA OXIANA).
Snake venoms contain a rich variety of factors which affect blood coagulation. There have been few reports on the anticoagulant activity of the venom of different cobras, but no such observations have been made on the Iranian cobra, although a procoagulant factor has been described. In this study an anticoagulant factor has been purified from the venom of Naja naja oxiana using gel filtrat...
متن کاملStructural-functional studies of peptides derived from a long-chain snake neurotoxin Naja naja oxiana
Introduction: The design and structural characterization of mini-proteins with a compact, folded structure provide insight into the complex architecture of proteins today and has long been a challenging issue in structural- functional studies. Alpha neurotoxins from snake venom have a distinct folded structure comprised of a disulphide core and three loops or “fingers” each of these loops are c...
متن کاملChemical Modification of the Histidine Residue in Phospholipase A, (Naja naja naja)
Reaction of phospholipase A, (Naja naja naja) with pbromophenacyl bromide leads to almost complete loss of enzymatic activity. The rate of inactivation is pa-dependent with ,pK, = 6.9 for the ionizing residue. p-Bromophenacyl bromide modifies 0.5 mol of histidinelmol of enzyme as judged by amino acid analysis and incorporation studies with W-labeled reagent. The rate of inactivation is affected...
