Allosteric α1-Adrenoreceptor Antagonism by the Conopeptide ρ-TIA [PDF]
A peptide contained in the venom of the predatory marine snail Conus tulipa, rho-TIA, has previously been shown to possess alpha1-adrenoreceptor antagonist activity. Here, we further characterize its pharmacological activity as well as its structure-activity relationships.

Current and Future Issues in the Development of Spinal Agents for the Management of Pain. [PDF]
Targeting analgesic drugs for spinal delivery reflects the fact that while the conscious experience of pain is mediated supraspinally, input initiated by high intensity stimuli, tissue injury and/or nerve injury is encoded at the level of the spinal ...

Conus venoms are rich sources of biologically active peptides that act specifically on ionic channels and metabotropic receptors present at the neuromuscular junction, efficiently paralyzing the prey. Each species of Conus may have 50 to 200 uncharacterized bioactive peptides with pharmacological interest.

Overexpression, purification, and pharmacological activity of a biosynthetically derived conopeptide [PDF]
A high yielding fusion protein system based on the protein cytochrome b(5) has been used for the production of novel 13-residue acyclic conopeptide. This peptide, Mo1659, can be liberated from the carrier protein using CNBr cleavage and subsequent purification using RP-HPLC methods. The yield of isotopically enriched peptides is high, ranging from 3 to

A Benchmark Dataset Comprising Partition and Distribution Coefficients of Linear Peptides
Peptides have a dominant role in biology; yet the study of their physical properties is at best sporadic. Peptide quantitative structure‐activity relationship (QSAR) lags far behind the QSAR analysis of drug‐like organic small molecules. Traditionally, QSAR has focussed on experimentally determined partition coefficients as the main descriptor of ...

Les canaux calciques dépendants du voltage au coeur de la douleur [PDF]
Les canaux calciques dépendants du voltage représentent une des voies principales d’entrée du calcium dans la cellule nerveuse où ils participent activement à l’excitabilité cellulaire et aux processus moléculaires de la transmission synaptique. Ils ont,

DESM: portal for microbial knowledge exploration systems [PDF]
Microorganisms produce an enormous variety of chemical compounds. It is of general interest for mi-crobiology and biotechnology researchers to have means to explore information about molecular and genetic basis of functioning of different microor-ganisms
