"Computational and Functional Characterization of a Hemorrhagic Metalloproteinase Purified from Cerastes cerastes Venom".

Structural and functional aspects of snake venoms metalloproteinases (SVMPs) have been extensively studied due to their role in envenomation. However, in the detection of certain coagulation disorders these biomolecules have been used and applied for the production of new thrombolytic drugs. CcMP-II, a SVMP-II metalloproteinase with a hemorrhagic activity, isolated from the venom of Cerastes cerastes, its sequence of 472 amino acids was identified.
