Principal Component and Structural Element Analysis Provide Insights into the Evolutionary Divergence of Conotoxins
Predatory cone snails (<i>Conus</i>) developed a sophisticated neuropharmacological mechanism to capture prey, escape against other predators, and deter competitors. Their venom’s remarkable specificity for various ion channels and receptors is an evolutionary feat attributable to the ve...
