Sexual Dimorphism and Intraspecific Toxin Variation in Crotalus durissus terrificus Venom: Insights from Proteomics, Peptidomics, and Structural Modeling

Abstract The venom of the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus (Cdt) is renowned for its minimalist yet highly toxic arsenal. Intraspecific variability in expressed proteoforms and toxin content has been previously observed in Cdt venom, resulting in heterogene...

Albumin Precoating of Nanoparticles: A Reliable StealthStrategy?

Abstract Albumin precoating has emerged as a strategy to impart nanoparticles (NPs) with stealth-like properties and as an alternative to NP surface PEGylation. Yet how such coatings influence protein corona formation and hemocompatibility in human blood remains poorly understood...
