Résumé

Pour déterminer le caractère des exo-peptidases dans le venin des serpents on a employé comme substrat dul-leucyl-β-napthylamide. Des venins de 49 espèces et sous-espèces des 4 familles de serpents venimeux ont été étudiés. La capacité d'hydroliser ce substrat a été rencontrée assez souvent dans les venins des serpents venimeux quelles que joient leurs origines géographiques ou leurs différences génétiques.
