A sleep-inducing peptide from the venom of the Indian cone snail Conus araneosus

, 2015
The marine snail Conus araneosus has unusual significance due to its confined distribution to coastal regions of southeast India and Sri Lanka. Due to its relative scarceness, this species has been poorly studied. In this work, we characterized the venom

Cone Snail Broad-Transcriptomics Elucidate the Evolutionary Diversification and Anti-Microbial Potential of Conopeptides

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Conus venoms are both highly powerful and complex, exhibiting a remarkably intriguing molecular variability. The biologic reasons behind such astonishing molecular diversity are yet to be fully understood.
