The venom of the marine predatory cone snails (genus Conus) has evolved for prey capture
and defense, providing the basis for survival and rapid diversification of the now estimated …

Disulfide bridges establish a fundamental element in the molecular architecture of proteins
and peptides which are involved eg, in basic biological processes or acting as toxins. NMR …

Spiders are one of the most successful venomous animals, with more than 48,000 described
species. Most spider venoms are dominated by cysteine-rich peptides with a diverse range …

Animal venoms are complex mixtures containing peptides and proteins known as toxins,
which are responsible for the deleterious effect of envenomations. Across the animal …

Venoms have evolved> 100 times in all major animal groups, and their components, known
as toxins, have been fine-tuned over millions of years into highly effective biochemical …

Venoms are complex chemical arsenals that have evolved independently many times in the
animal kingdom. Venoms have attracted the interest of researchers because they are an …

Animal venom peptides represent valuable compounds for biomedical exploration. The
venoms of marine cone snails constitute a particularly rich source of peptide toxins, known …

Phage display technology is a powerful tool for selecting monoclonal antibodies against a
diverse set of antigens. Within toxinology, however, it remains challenging to generate …

Conotoxins form a diverse group of peptide toxins found in the venom of predatory marine
cone snails. Decades of conotoxin research have provided numerous measurable scientific …

We are entering an exciting time in structural biology where artificial intelligence can be
