Almost all ω-conotoxins are C-terminally amidated (*), each net positive/negative charge is indicated in the braces after the sequence of the corresponding ω-conotoxin. The disulfide bridges motif of ω-conotoxins and its 4 loops (Δ) are also displayed above the sequences. Hydroxyproline residues are denoted by the letter O.
