Scorpion venom toxicity is of major concern due to its influence on human activities and public health. We investigated the in-vitro process of cell death caused by two Iranian scorpions Odontobuthus doriae and Bothutus salceyi venom on human cell lines. The aim of this study was to provide further information about triggering cell death and suggestion of methods for the elimination of unwanted...

BACKGROUND Animal neurotoxin peptides are valuable probes for investigating ion channel structure/function relationships and represent lead compounds for novel therapeutics and insecticides. However, misfolding and aggregation are common outcomes when toxins containing multiple disulfides are expressed in bacteria. METHODS The β-scorpion peptide toxin Bj-xtrIT from Hottentotta judaica and fou...
