Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael | Solution structure of αA-conotoxin EIVA, a potent neuromuscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist from Conus ermineus | We report the solution three-dimensional structure of an αA-conotoxin EIVA determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and restrained molecular dynamics. The αA-conotoxin EIVA consists of 30 amino acids representing the largest peptide among the α/αAfamily conotoxins discovered so f... | Conotoxins; A-conotoxin EIVA; Conus ermineus | 2003 |

Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael | Nuclear magnetic resonance solution conformation of α-conotoxin AuIB, an α3ß4 subtype-selective neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist | The neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors constitute a highly diverse group, with subtypes consisting of pentameric combinations of α and ß subunits. α-Conotoxins are a homologous series of small peptides that antagonize these receptors. We present the three-dimensional solution structure ... | Conotoxins; a-conotoxin AuIB | 2000 |

Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael | Novel post-translational modification involving bromination of tryptophan: identification of the residue, L-6-bromotryptophan, in peptides from Conus imperialis and Conus radiatus venom | We report a novel post-translational modification involving halogenation of tryptophan in peptides recovered from the venom of carnivorous marine cone snails (Conus). The residue, L-6-bromotryptophan, was identified in the sequence of a heptapeptide, isolated from Conus imperialis, a worm-hunting... | Conotoxins; Conus imperialis; Conus radiatus; L-6-bromotryptophan | 1997 |
