Conotoxins Targeting Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors: An Overview

Conotoxins Targeting Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors: An Overview

Marine snails of the genus Conus are a large family of predatory gastropods with an unparalleled molecular diversity of pharmacologically active compounds in their venom. Cone snail venom comprises of a rich and diverse cocktail of peptide toxins which act on a wide variety of ion channels such as v...
