The effects of venom from a representative African cobra species (Naja mossambica) and a representative Asian cobra species (N. siamensis) against native and mutant Homininae mimotope sequences. A Amino acid sequences of native and mutant mimotopes. B Bar graphs represent the mean area under the curve (AUC) values of the adjacent curve graphs. Curve graphs show the mean wavelength (nm) shift in light with increased binding of venoms over a 120-s association phase. Each venom was tested in triplicate (n=3). Error bars on all graphs represent the SEM. AUC values were statistically analyzed using a one-way ANOVA with a Dunnett’s multiple comparisons post hoc test comparing to the native mimotope. A statistical significance is annotated above bars by ** (p< 0.01), *** (p< 0.001), or **** (p< 0.0001). All raw data and statistical analyses outputs can be found in Additional file 2
