title: Proteins, lipids, lipoproteins and some enzyme characterizations of the venom extract from the centipede Scolopendra morsitans.
abstract: Some components of Scolopendra morsitans venom extract were characterized using disc gel electrophoresis and thin layer chromatography. Its protein component was separated into 13 anodal bands and a slowly moving cathodal band. The extract showed three slowly moving lipoprotein bands and the lipid components included phospholipids, cholesterol, free fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol esters and squalene. The enzymes esterase, acid and alkaline phosphatases and amino acid naphthylamidase were present in multiple forms. Acid phosphatase isoenzymes were of low activity.
