Molecular diversity assessed by MALDI mass spectrometry of two scorpion species venom from two different locations in Morocco

In conclusion, MFPs assessed by MALDI-MS represent a fast, non-supervised, sensitive, reliable and cost-efficient approach for taxonomic identification and molecular variability characterization. This study undoubtedly represents a step forward for understanding the scorpion venom plasticity, intra/inter variations, and their temporal and geographical variability.PMID:38103799 | DOI:10.1016/j.toxicon.2023.107562
