Biochemical studies of ω-conotoxin GVIA; a peptide toxin inhibiting voltage-sensitive Ca++ channels |

| Description |
The fish-hunting cone snails use their venom to quickly paralyze their more agile prey. In the last few years, our laboratories have carried out a program of analyzing biologically active components present in the fish-hunting cone snail venoms (Cruz et al. 1985; Olivera et al. 1985). We have concentrated on the venom of one piscivorous species, Conus geographus L. which is known to have caused human fatality. |
