Abstract:Electrophoretic analyses were conducted on snake venoms from 21 species representing Elapidae, Crotalidae and Viperidae. Denatured and native venoms were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic (PAGE) methods with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and without SDS. Both SDS-PAGE and PAGE profiles of venoms from different snake species indicate that some proteins and polypeptide components of these venoms have common electrophoretic characteristics suggesting a genetic relationship. Conversely, the electropherograms also showed the characteristic protein and polypeptide profiles that could differentiate one snake species from another. Therefore, both SDS-PAGE and PAGE profiles suggest that proteins and polypeptides with similar characteristics abound among subspecies or related species, although each venom has a unique profile that differentiates one species from the other.
