The three intramolecular disulfide linkages of geographutoxin I, a peptide neurotoxin isolated from the venom of the marine snail Conus geographus, were examined by a novel method for determination of the positions of disulfide linkages in peptides [(1989) Bull. Chem. Soc. Jp. 62, 1986-1994]. The disulfide bridges were found to be between Cys3 and Cys15, Cys4 and Cys20, and Cys21, indicating that geographutoxin I has a rigid conformation consisting of three loops stabilized by these three disulfide linkages.

D008978 Mollusk Venoms Venoms from mollusks, including CONUS and OCTOPUS species. The venoms contain proteins, enzymes, choline derivatives, slow-reacting substances, and several characterized polypeptide toxins that affect the nervous system. Mollusk venoms include cephalotoxin, venerupin, maculotoxin, surugatoxin, conotoxins, and murexine.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D010456 Peptides, Cyclic Peptides whose amino acid residues are linked together forming a circular chain. Some of them are ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS; some are biosynthesized non-ribosomally (PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, NON-RIBOSOMAL).
