| Title |
Contryphan is a D-tryptophan-containing Conus peptide |
| Date |
1996 |
| Description |
In this report, we document for the first time the occurrence of D-tryptophan in a normally translated polypeptide, contryphan. The peptide, isolated from the venom of the fish-hunting marine snail Conus radiatus, produces the "stiff-tail" syndrome in mice. |
