Scorpine, an anti‐malaria and anti‐bacterial agent purified from scorpion venom
Abstract
A novel peptide, scorpine, was isolated from the venom of the scorpion Pandinus imperator, with anti‐bacterial activity and a potent inhibitory effect on the ookinete (ED 50 0.7 μM) and gamete (ED 50 10 μM) stages of Plasmodium berghei development. It has 75 amino acids, three disulfide bridges with a molecular mass of 8350 Da. Scorpine has a unique amino acid sequence, similar only to some cecropins in its N‐terminal segment and to some defensins in its C‐terminal region. Its gene was cloned from a cDNA library.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
