The composition of phosphate granules in the digestive glands of marine prosobranch gastropods: variation in relation to taxonomy [PDF]
, 1998 The composition of some 1150 phosphate granules in the digestive glands of over 40 species of marine prosobranch gastropods has been surveyed using a simple preparation technique and semiquantitative SEM x-ray microanalysis. Spectral peaks for Mg, K, Ca,

Characterization of the venom of the vermivorous cone snail Conus fulgetrum [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2016 Abstract Over 200 components with molecular mass ranging mainly from 400 to 4000 Da were characterized from the venom of the vermivorous cone snail Conus fulgetrum that inhabit Egyptian Red Sea. One major component having a molecular mass of 2946 Da was purified by HPLC, and its primary structure was determined by a combination of Edman ...

Beyond Conus: Phylogenetic relationships of Conidae based on complete mitochondrial genomes [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding how the extraordinary taxonomic and ecological diversity of cone snails (Caenogastropoda: Conidae) evolved requires a statistically robust phylogenetic framework, which thus far is not available. While recent molecular phylogenies have been

Proteomic analysis of Red Sea Conus taeniatus venom reveals potential biological applications
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2021 Background: Diverse and unique bioactive neurotoxins known as conopeptides or conotoxins are produced by venomous marine cone snails. Currently, these small and stable molecules are of great importance as research tools and platforms for discovering new ...
