Electrospray mass spectrometry of Malayan pit viper (Calloselasma rhodostoma) venom.
A high-performance liquid chromatography protocol has been developed for the analysis of snake venoms. This system has been used to isolate eight fractions from Malayan pit viper (Calloselasma rhodostoma) venom. The fractions have been analysed using electrospray mass spectrometry. A number of major components were found with masses ranging from 13,670 to 22,750 Da.
