As important physiological regulators, peptides have been used in many fields including
medicine, cosmetics, healthcare products, animal nutrition and health, and plant nutrition …

Peptides are recognized as being highly selective, potent and relatively safe as potential
therapeutics. Peptides isolated from the venom of different animals satisfy most of these …

In 1998 a nomenclature for the growing list of pesticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt) was derived based solely on protein sequence comparisons. This nomenclature was …

Venomous animals have evolved toxins that interfere with specific components of their
victim's core physiological systems, thereby causing biological dysfunction that aids in prey …

Reducing hurdles to clinical trials without compromising the therapeutic promises of peptide
candidates becomes an essential step in peptide-based drug design. Machine-learning …

Spider venoms are an incredibly rich source of disulfide-rich insecticidal peptides that have
been tuned over millions of years to target a wide range of receptors and ion channels in the …

This paper proposes AgriTalk, an inexpensive Internet of Things (IoT) platform for precision
farming of soil cultivation. We conduct experiments on turmeric cultivation, which indicates …

Crop protection continues to be an important component of modern farming to maintain food
production to feed an expanding human population, but considerable changes have …

Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels play a central role in the propagation of action
potentials in excitable cells in both humans and insects. Many venomous animals have …

This review gives an overview on the development of research on spider venoms with a
focus on structure and function of venom components and techniques of analysis. Major …
