Secondary structure formations of conotoxin genes: a possible role in mediating variability.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 20 Oct 2006

Dewan Kalyan Kumar

Abstract excerpt

Small venomous peptides called conotoxins produced by the predatory marine snail (genus Conus) present an interesting case for mutational studies. They have a high degree of amino acid variability among them yet they possess highly conserved structural elements that are defined by cysteine residues forming disulfide bridges along the length of the mature peptide. It has been observed that codons specifying these...
