Abstract
The electrophoretic patterns of venom proteins of different species of snakes from the families of Crotalidae and Elapidae were studied by disc electrophoresis using different concentrations of polyacrylamide gel and different pH conditions. A qualitative comparison of the electropherograms showed variations in the distribution of proteins among different species and subspecies of snakes. It is suggested that the classification of venomous snakes from the standpoint of venom compositions is of fundamental importance in snakebite pathology.Keywords
