Objective:To determine the new M-superfamily conotoxins from molluscivorous snail Conus bandanus in Vietnam.Methods:Conus bandanus venom was fractionated and purified on HPLC system with an analytical reversed-phase C...
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors(nAChRs) are widely distributed ligand gated ion channels throughout the peripheral and central nervous systems of mammals.There are 16 different n AChR subunits,α1-α7,α9,α10 and ...

Abstract Conotoxins belong to the large families of disulfide-rich peptide toxins from cone snail venom, and can act on a broad spectrum of ion channels and receptors. They are classified into different subtypes based...
Conotoxins (CTxs) are typically small peptides composed of 12-50 amino acid residues with 2-5 disulfide bridges. Most of them potently and selectively target a wide variety of ion channels and membrane receptors. Th...
The evolutionarily unique and ecologically diverse family Conidae presents fundamental opportunities for marine pharmacology research and drug discovery.The focus of this investigation is to summarize the worldwide di...
