- Venoms contain many components that have been recognized. They contain proteins, lipids, steroids, aminopolysaccharides, amines, quinines, neurotransmitters, and other compounds, and are capable of causing many effects. Elapid venom is the least complex, while pit vipers have the most complex venoms. Elapid venoms have higher concentrations of esterases, such as acetylcholinesterase, while viper venoms have higher concentrations of endopeptidases.

To better understand the diverse effects of venom, let us examine several of the common components found in snake venoms.
