Scientists have found the gene that makes the Australian Sakkk fortified against the faty snake poison

Professor Brian Fry of the University of California at the University of California said in revealing how Skinks Dodge Death informs vital medical approaches to treat people in people.

“What we saw in your knife was the most developed in the most genius,” said Professor Fry.

“Australian has evolved in small changes in critical muscle receptors, which are called nicotine -cholin receptors.

“This future is a target of neurological toxins that are associated with and prevents nerve muscle connections, causing rapid paralysis and death.

“But in an amazing example of natural exposure, we found that on 25 occasion, independent mutations were developed on this binding site to prevent poison from attachment.

“It is a testament to the huge evolutionary pressure of the toxic snakes that it practices after its arrival and spread throughout the Australian continent, when they would get the bent lizards a day.

“Incredibly, the mutations themselves have evolved in other animals such as Mongoos that feed on the cobra.

“We have confirmed our job test that the main Skink in Australia (Bellatorias FrereiThe same boom has evolved, which gives the honeymoon a famous resistance to the cobra tag.

“To see this type of resistance develops in a lizard, and the mammals are very great – the development continues to hit the same molecular bulls.”

Muscle receptors in Skinks included a mechanism to add sugar molecules to prevent toxins physically and replace protein brick (Ameine acid arginine in Place 187).

The laboratory work that is validated by the health of the mutations was implemented in the UATAPala Chandrasekara, which he said is incredible.

“We used synthetic peptides and receptor models to imitate what is happening when the poison enters an animal at the molecular level and the data was completely clear, and some modified receptors did not respond at all.”

“It is great to think a small change in protein can mean the difference between life and death when facing a very toxic predator.”

One day the results can be learned to develop new antibiotics or therapeutic factors to counter toxic toxic toxins.

“Understanding how to neutralize nature can provide evidence of biomedical innovation,” said Dr. Chandrasikara.

“The more we get to know how to do the resistance of poison in nature, the greater the number of tools we have to design new antibiotics.”

The project included cooperation with museums throughout Australia.

The research has been published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
