Structural venomics reveals evolution of a complex venom by duplication and diversification of an ancient peptide-encoding gene

Spiders are one of the most successful venomous animals, with more than 48,000 described species. Most spider venoms are dominated by cysteine-rich peptides with a diverse range of pharmacological activities. Some spider venoms contain thousands of unique peptides, but little is known about the mech...
