Comparison of the peptide distribution in three venom duct sections (distal, central and proximal) across the three adult C. striatus (specimens A–C). (a) Venn diagrams showing the common and unique peptide masses across the three venom duct sections (D, C and P) in three specimens (A, B and C) of C. striatus. Total mass units detected in the LC–MS for each specimen is shown below the respective Venn diagram. Total mass units detected in the LC–MS for each specimen is shown below the respective Venn diagram. (b) Venn diagrams showing the mass variability in each venom duct section (D, C and P) across the three specimens (A, B and C) of C. striatus. Percentage of the shared masses between the specimens are shown under the each Venn diagram. (c) PCA plot showing the variability of the venom extracted from dissected venom duct sections in three specimens. LC–MS data generated from SCIEX 5600 QTOF instrument is statistically analysed using the MarkerView software to obtain the PCA and loading plots.
