In the picture: disulfide-poor conopeptides, a class of pharmacologically interesting compounds
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2016 During evolution, nature has embraced different strategies for species to survive. One strategy, applied by predators as diverse as snakes, scorpions, sea anemones and cone snails, is using venom to immobilize or kill a prey.

Scientific Reports, 2018 Cone snail venoms have separately evolved for predation and defense. Despite remarkable inter- and intra-species variability, defined sets of synergistic venom peptides (cabals) are considered essential for prey capture by cone snails.
