From: Accelerated proteomic visualization of individual predatory venoms of Conus purpurascens reveals separately evolved predation-evoked venom cabals

Figure 1

The number of masses detected in the injected predatory venom of C. purpurascens. (a) The number of known and unknown masses in the injected predatory venom of each specimen. (b) The contribution of known excitotoxins and neuromuscular blockers to the venom of each specimen. Two μL of the venom from each specimen was analysed with Sciex TripleTOF 5600 instrument. The masses were identified using the Analyst™1.6 program (Sciex) and were pre- processed to detect and remove duplicates, Na+ and K+ adducts using mass processing tools of ConoServer. The resulting number of unique masses from each specimen is graphically represented. A significant difference (P < 0.01) in the peptide number between specimens A to D and E to I was found with unpaired t-test.
