Sixty-seven scorpion species have been described in France and its territories, where they
have been found to be heterogeneously distributed. Indeed, only one species can be found …

Enzymes are an integral part of animal venoms. Unlike snakes, in which enzymes play a
primary role in envenomation, in scorpions, their function appears to be ancillary in most …

Centruroides possanii is a recently discovered species of “striped scorpion” found in Mexico.
Certain species of Centruroides are known to be toxic to mammals, leading to numerous …

Morocco is known to harbor two of the world's most dangerous scorpion species: the black
Androctonus mauritanicus (Am) and the yellow Buthus occitanus (Bo), responsible for 83 …

Scorpion venom contains a cocktail of differing peptides and proteins. Previous studies
focused on the identification of species-specific components in scorpion venoms, and …

Scorpion venoms have long been studied for their peptide discovery potential, with modern
high-throughput venom-characterization techniques paving the way for the discovery of …

Potassium channels play a key role in regulating many physiological processes, thus,
alterations in their proper functioning can lead to the development of several diseases …

The word venomics was coined to acknowledge the studies that use omics to investigate
venom proteins and peptides. Venomics has evolved considerably over the last 20 years …

Scorpion toxins are relatively short cyclic peptides (< 150 amino acids) that can disrupt the
opening/closing mechanisms in cell ion channels. These peptides are widely studied for …
