AA << report on the sweet side of snake venom toxins >>
<< most proteins in lancehead venom are modified with glycans, which can affect the proteins' folding, stability and binding >>
<< Glycans containing sialic acid may help in venom solubility and increase toxin half-life >>
<< Sialic acid on a toxic enzyme may also bind to host proteins called siglecs [sialic acid-binding Ig superfamily lectins], pulling the enzyme closer to target cells for greater effect >>
