Abstract
Genomic and biochemical analyses reveal that two independently evolved serine protease venoms in mammals and lizards have converged on nearly identical protein structures. Likewise, in two groups of frog, an identical toxin, caerulein, has arisen repeatedly from unique genes in those lineages.
摘要
基因组和生化分析表明，哺乳动物和蜥蜴中两种独立进化的丝氨酸蛋白酶毒液已经趋同于几乎相同的蛋白质结构。同样，在两组青蛙中，一种相同的毒素——蓝斑肽，已经从这些谱系中独特的基因中多次产生。
