Proteomic characterisation of the neurotoxic venoms of South Asian Kraits and an assessment of drivers of venom variation.

Snake venoms are complex biochemical arsenals shaped by evolutionary processes such as ecological interactions, geographic variation, phylogenetic constraints, and ontogenetic changes. In South Asia, kraits of the genus Bungarus are medically important snakes, yet studies on venom composition and the drivers of venom v...
