On the importance of oxidative folding in the evolution of conotoxins: cysteine codon preservation through gene duplication and adaptation.
Conotoxin genes are among the most rapidly evolving genes currently known; however, despite the well-established hypervariability of the intercysteine loops, the cysteines demonstrate significant conservation, with a site-specific codon bias for each cysteine in a family of conotoxins. Herein we pre...
