Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This chapter summarizes all of the naturally occurring polyamine toxins from spider and wasp sources. It discusses the basic problems of their isolation, structure elucidation, and synthesis. It also describes polyamine toxin analogs. Plausible structural variations of the original natural products are outlined and synthetic approaches to the respective artificial target molecules briefly explained. The venoms of spiders and wasps are complex composites of free amino acids, large proteinaceous toxin, and relatively small polyamine toxins. For a long time, the interest in such venoms primarily focused on the high molecular weight components, particularly those extracted from tropical spiders. With the development of improved analytical methodologies and because of the interesting neurotoxic activities of these compounds, the polyamine venom components of common “garden variety” spiders, as well as wasps have gained attention. Several laboratories have concentrated their research on the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, and pharmacology of such natural products, as well as the study of synthetic analogs.
