Abstract
1. 1. Venoms from the snakes Crotalus atrox, Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix, Agkistrodon piscivorus leukostoma and Bitis nasicornis contain an enzyme which is capable of reducing the specific viscosities of collagen solutions, but venom from Vipera russelli, Ophiophagus hannah and Naja naja apparently do not have this capability. 2. 2. Venom from bee Apis mellifera and spiders Aranea diadema and Lactrodectus mactans apparently do not have a collagenolytic enzyme. 3. 3. Crotalus atrox venom but not venom from Ophiophagus hannah is capable of digesting rat mesenteric native collagen fibers during tissue culture.
