What does VENIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A toxic protein found among the poisonous components of the venom produced by snakes and certain other venomous animals.
Venom is a complex mixture, and venin is one term biochemists have used for the specific protein fractions within it that cause harmful effects such as tissue damage or interference with blood clotting. Researchers isolate and study individual venins to understand how a particular venom works and to help develop antivenoms that neutralize its effects. Because venom composition varies widely between species, the exact venins present differ from one snake's bite to another.
