Abstract

The venoms of Buthus tamulus and Heterometrus bengalensis scorpions, displayed nine and eight enzymatic activities, respectively. A considerable variation in protein content and enzyme activities is found between different batches of venom. H. bengalensis venom is less toxic to mice than B. tamulus venom and also contains more non-proteinaceous matter.
