High‐resolution crystal structure of the Mu8.1 conotoxin from Conus mucronatus
Acta Crystallographica Section F, Volume 79, Issue 9, Page 240-246, September 2023., 2023 The crystal structure of the Mu8.1 conotoxin was determined in the high‐symmetry space group I4122 at 1.67 Å resolution. This crystal structure reveals a surface‐exposed Zn2+‐binding site and establishes a hydrogen‐bonding network around Lys55 buried at the dimer interface.Marine cone snails produce a wealth of peptide toxins (conotoxins) that bind ...

Venom complexity of Bothrops atrox (common lancehead) siblings
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2020 Background: Variability in snake venoms is a well-studied phenomenon. However, sex-based variation of Bothrops atrox snake venom using siblings is poorly investigated. Bothrops atrox is responsible for the majority of snakebite accidents in the Brazilian
