Abstract

The composition and properties of the venoms of Central Asian snakes are being widely studied, but the venom of the mamushi has scarcely been investigated. Nevertheless, in the Central Asian fauna the numerous family of crotalid snakes is represented only by the genus AgkisDrodon. We have continued a systematic investigation of mamushi venom undertaken in connection with its influence on the blood-clotting reaction [1-3]. In the present paper the composition of the protein-peptide fraction of this venom is characterized from the results of its chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50.
