Abstract

The studies of the venom of a poisonous snake have shed some light on the biochemical processes taking place in the control of blood pressure and during a heart attack. This paper discusses the findings of two seperate research efforts regarding the structure of such toxins which turned out to be quite similar. The endothelins (natural mammalian peptides) and sarafotoxins (snake toxins), both of which have a profound effect on the cardiovascular system.
