Amino acid sequence alignment of the Cav2.2 inhibitor toxins, ω-conotoxins from cone snails, spiders and the assassin bug Peirates turpis. Cysteines common to all toxins which are important for these peptides extraordinary stability are highlighted, in addition to positively charged amino acids suggested to be important for binding of these toxins to Cav2.2 channels.
