In order to study the proteome of Echis carinatus carinatus venom of Indian origin, crude venom was fractionated on a Shodex KW-803 gel filtration column coupled to Dionex Ultimate 3000 UHPLC system. The resulting peaks were pooled and subjected to in-solution trypsin digestion and subsequent tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The raw data were then analysed using PEAKS 8.5 software to finally decipher the complex venom proteome.
