Abstract
Snakebite is a constant public health concern in the tropical parts of the world with antivenom being the only effective therapy. Despite their essential role in snakebite envenoming therapy, antivenoms are associated with severe side effects due to their heterologous nature. To overcome these problems, a new approach is needed. Based on phage display selection, a peptidic inhibitor (JJ1) was discovered, which targets the potent α-cobratoxin from Naja kaouthia. Here, we report our efforts on characterizing the interactions between JJ1 and α-cobratoxin by H/D exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS).
