Glycosylation of Conotoxins

Marine Drugs, 2013
Conotoxins are small peptides present in the venom of cone snails. The snail uses this venom to paralyze and capture prey. The constituent conopeptides display a high level of chemical diversity and are of particular interest for scientists as tools ...

Three-Dimensional Structure of Conotoxin tx3a: A m-1 Branch Peptide of the M-Superfamily [PDF]

, 2008
The M-superfamily, one of eight major conotoxin superfamilies found in the venom of the cone snail, contains a Cys framework with disulfide-linked loops labeled 1, 2, and 3 (- CC1C2C3CC-). M-superfamily conotoxins can be divided into the m-1, -2, -3 and -

Critical time window for NO-cGMP-dependent long-term memory formation after one-trial appetitive conditioning [PDF]

, 2002
The nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP signaling pathway is implicated in an increasing number of experimental models of plasticity. Here, in a behavioral analysis using one-trial appetitive associative conditioning, we show that there is an obligatory requirement ...
