Identification of “alpha-conotoxin-like” Peptide in Conus pennaceus Born, 1778, Venom [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2018 Conic snails are slow-moving carnivorous that use a very powerful venom to hunt. This venom is a combination of different toxins from the family of conototoxins.

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.

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Conotoxins: Therapeutic Potential and Application
Marine Drugs, 2006 The pharmacological variety of conotoxins, diverse peptides found in the venoms of marine cone snails, is well recognized. Venoms from each of the estimated 500 species of cone snails contain 50 to 200 distinct biologically active peptides.

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

Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Modulators from Cone Snails
Marine Drugs, 2018 Marine cone snails are a large family of gastropods that have evolved highly potent venoms for predation and defense. The cone snail venom has exceptional molecular diversity in neuropharmacologically active compounds, targeting a range of receptors, ion
