Residues Responsible for the Selectivity of α-Conotoxins for Ac-AChBP or nAChRs

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2016
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are targets for developing new drugs to treat severe pain, nicotine addiction, Alzheimer disease, epilepsy, etc. α-Conotoxins are biologically and chemically diverse. With 12–19 residues and two disulfides, they

Stability and Structure-Forming Properties of the Two Disulfide Bonds of α-Conotoxin GI

open access: yes, 2016
α-Conotoxin GI is a 13 residue snail toxin peptide cross-linked by Cys2−Cys7 and Cys3−Cys13 disulfide bridges. The formation of the two disulfide bonds by thiol/disulfide exchange with oxidized glutathione (GSSG) has been characterized.

Data from: Targeted sequencing of venom genes from cone snail genomes improves understanding of conotoxin molecular evolution

open access: yes, 2018
To expand our capacity to discover venom sequences from the genomes of venomous organisms, we applied targeted sequencing techniques to selectively recover venom gene superfamilies and non-toxin loci from the genomes of 32 cone snail species (family ...

Identification of “alpha-conotoxin-like” Peptide in Conus pennaceus Born, 1778, Venom [PDF]

open access: yesبوم‌شناسی 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.

Discovery of novel conotoxin candidates using machine learning

open access: yes, 2018
Cone snails (genus ) are venomous marine snails that inject prey with a lethal cocktail of conotoxins, small, secreted, and cysteine-rich peptides.

Refolding of omega conotoxin peptide derived from marine snail, Conus magus, to evaluate its analgesic effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Oxidative refolding is one of the key challenges hampering the development of peptide based compounds as therapeutics. The correct refolding for three disulfide peptide like w-Conotoxi n MVIIA is difficult and crucial for biological activity.

Solution structure of μ-conotoxin GIIIA analysed by 2D-NMR and distance geometry calculations

open access: yes, 1991
We have investigated the structure of μ-conotoxin GIIIA by 2D-NMR methods. The assignment of 1H NMR spectra and a quantitative analysis of NOE and J-coupling data are presented.
