Disintegrin-like and Cysteine-rich Domains Govern Enzymatic Activity and Substrate Recognition in Echis Snake Venom Metalloproteinases

Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are major drivers of pathology following viper envenomation and represent important targets for the development of next-generation recombinant antivenoms.

Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are major drivers of pathology following viper envenomation and represent important targets for the development of next-generation recombinant antivenoms. PIII SVMPs are among the most potent haemorrhagic toxins and contain disintegrin-like…
