Sažetak

A light scattering determination of the molecular weights of the venom of Viperae Ammodytes, its antivenin and their aggregates in 0.15 M sodium chloride solutions were performed. Venom and antivenin were extensively dialyzed against water or sodium chloride solution. The weight-average molecular weight of the venom amounted to 43,600, and of the antivenin (pepsin digested) to 83,000. The size of the venom-antivenin aggregates
depended upon the time of the reaction and the venom-antivenin ratio. The corresponding molecular weights varied from 202 ,000 to 4,800,000. The results were compared with the investigation on similar systems, a nd the significance of the results was discussed.
