Mechanisms Responsible for the Anticoagulant Properties of Neurotoxic <i>Dendroaspis</i> Venoms: A Viscoelastic Analysis

Mechanisms Responsible for the Anticoagulant Properties of Neurotoxic <i>Dendroaspis</i> Venoms: A Viscoelastic Analysis

Using thrombelastography to gain mechanistic insights, recent investigations have identified enzymes and compounds in <i>Naja</i> and <i>Crotalus</i> species&#8217; neurotoxic venoms that are anticoagulant in nature. The neurotoxic venoms of the four extant species of <...
