摘要：

Conotoxins, a class of marine peptides rich in disulfide bonds, contain many of the structural elements present in larger proteins, such as α-helices and β-turns. In addition, these natural products are remarkably stable and exhibit exceptional receptor selectivity. These properties make them ideal candidates for drug development.
