My colleague, Carolyn Steglich, and I are in the process of writing up some supervised undergraduate student research regarding the molecular analysis of the secretions of the garter snake Harderian gland. We've found some rather interesting and unique proteins therein, and can determine their specificity to the Garter snake. But I'm trying to think of a good place to publish these results - broad enough to interest the comparative crowd.
It really depends on the relevance and broadness of your findings.
Are the proteins you identified toxins? If so, the journal 'Toxicon' (IF: 2.92) from Elsevier might be a good venue.
If you think the subject is broader than "toxins" maybe one of the general biology journals could do for you. I'm thinking BMC Biology (IF: 6.53) and PLoS Biology (IF: 12.69) mainly.
There are also the multidisciplinary journals, like PLoS One (IF: 3.73), Scientific Reports (2.92), PeerJ (no IF yet), eLIFE (no IF yet) and PNAS (9.73).
The impact factors must be taken cautiously, take a look at the kind of papers published in each journal and decide if your manuscript fits.
