A toxicovenomic analysis of the venom of the forest cobra, N. melanoleuca, was performed, revealing the presence of a total of 52 proteins by proteomics analysis. The most abundant proteins belong to the three-finger toxins (3FTx) (57.1 wt%), which includes post-synaptically acting alpha-neurotoxins. Phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)) were the second most abundant group of proteins (12.9 wt%), followed by metalloproteinases (SVMPs) (9.7 wt%), cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs) (7.6 wt%), and Kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitors (3.8 wt%). A number of additional protein families comprised each
