1 Olivera, Baldomero M.Conodipine-M, a novel phospholipase A2 isolated from the venom of the marine snail Conus magusWe describe the purification and first biochemical characterization of an enzymatic activity in venom from the marine snail Conus magus. This enzyme, named conodipine-M, is a novel phospholipase A2 with a molecular mass of 13.6 ĸDa and is comprised of two polypeptide chains linked by one or more di...Conotoxins; Conodipine-M; Conus magus1994
2 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Gray, William RobertConotoxin MI: disulfide bonding and conformational statesThe toxic peptide from Conus magus venom (conotoxin MI) is a 14-amino acid peptide (McIntosh, M., Cruz, L. J., Hunkapiller, M. W., Gray, W. R., and Olivera, B. M. (1982) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 218, 329-334) which inhibits the acetylcholine ceptor. In this work we have confirmed the primary structu...Conotoxins; Disulfide bonding; Venom; Conus magus1983
3 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Gray, William Robert; McIntosh, J. MichaelNew α-conotoxin which targets α3ß2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptorsWe have isolated a 16-amino acid peptide from the venom of the marine snail Conus magus which potently blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) composed of α3ß2 subunits. This peptide, named a-conotoxin MII, was identified by electrophysiologically screening venom fractions against cl...Conotoxins; a-conotoxin MII; Conus magus1996
