The Oxus cobra contains what kind of ions for their venom to be active?
Ribonuclease V1 Ribonuclease V1 (RNase V1) is a ribonuclease enzyme found in the venom of the Caspian cobra ("Naja oxiana"). It cleaves double-stranded RNA in a non-sequence-specific manner, usually requiring a substrate of at least six stacked nucleotides. Like many ribonucleases, the enzyme requires the presence of magnesium ions for activity.
Venomous snake Venomous snakes are species of the suborder Serpentes that are capable of producing venom, which is used primarily for immobilizing prey and defense mostly via mechanical injection by fangs. Common venomous snakes include the families Elapidae, Viperidae, Atractaspididae, and some of the Colubridae. The toxicity of them is mainly indicated by murine LD , while multiple factors are considered to judge their potential danger to humans.
