| − | <p class="content">Pantide, a portmanteau word, conveys two concept- Pan and peptide- in a single blended neologism. In ancient Greek mythology, Pan is a god of shepherds and nature, whereas peptide indicates the essential substance of Pantide, amino acids. Pantide derives its toxicity from the spider venom. The inspiration for Pantide originates from the food chain. Predation is a scene ubiquitously observed in nature. Through evolution, animals have evolved diverse ways of predatory strategy. In this light, we hope to avail the natural evolutionary phenomenon into our project. Spiders are one of the most successful terrestrial venomous creatures on earth. In 300 million years of evolution, spiders have evolved arrays of complex venomous toxins.
