Marine animals and snakes: their venoms and poisons for therapeutics?
The discovery and modification of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor creation starts when Bothrops jararaca venom was found to be causing hypotension by potentiating-bradykinin activity. Bradykinin-potentiating peptides are also found in Viperidea and El...
