Our new #Venomics paper is published @Toxins_MDPI https://www.mdpi.com/2257056 #mdpitoxins 😃
We fractionated assassin bug venom to identify cytotoxic compounds and found that multiple proteins from different protein families are involved in cytotoxicity.

The latest paper from my lab was published!

My former PhD student Jeff Cole did an amazing job combining field work, transcriptomics, proteomics, and analyses of molecular evolution to explore the origins of inhibitory cysteine knot (ICK) toxins in wandering spiders (Ctenidae), the family that includes the infamous Brazilian Wandering Spider _Phoneutria nigriventer_.

A combination of bromelain and acetylcysteine / NAC, may inactivate spike protein.

Glycyrrhizin, an active constituent of licorice root, was found to strongly impede venom peptide-induced (or possibly spike protein) fibrinogen clotting.
