Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the biochemical and functional differences in venom and plasma samples from 13 Bothrops moojeni snakes, finding variability in venom protein profiles, especially in proteins involved in prey capture and digestion.
  • Some individual snakes showed immune responses indicating interaction between their plasma and venom proteins, with variations attributed more to differences in venom composition rather than plasma.
  • Venom samples with certain protein regions exhibited higher enzymatic and clotting activities and were more lethal in vivo, but showed less hemorrhagic activity, highlighting individual differences in venom composition and toxicity among the snakes.]
