To determine how the peptide and the complete toxin differed, the researchers isolated the native peptide (Consomatin nG1) from C. geographus venom. Then, they screened for peptide sequences with high ...

"Using specially designed peptides, we can build nanomedicines that make existing drugs more effective and less toxic and even enable the development of drugs that might not be able to work without ...

Imprinting molecular memory on the surface of polymer nanoparticles creates artificial antibodies that can recognize and neutralize a toxic peptide in vivo. Like a hand in a glove, antibodies fit ...

If Prialt was hidden among the toxins, McIntosh and other researchers argued that other analgesics must exist among the conotoxin peptides as well. In the early 2000s, researchers in Bruce Livett’s ...

Vestaron develops new generation insecticides using natural peptides from spiders ... the company has unraveled the secrets behind producing highly effective toxin-based insecticides that are ...

Centipede venom has a long history as a painkiller—toxins from the Chinese red-headed centipede ... In 2013, King and colleagues reported that one centipede-made peptide, Ssm6a, selectively inhibits ...

Researchers designed oligopeptides that could co-assemble with therapeutic cargoes to create nanoparticles that improved the antitumor efficacy AML model.
