A paralytic peptide, ψ-conotoxin Piiie has been purified and characterized from Conus purpurascens venom. Electrophysiological studies indicate that the peptide inhibits the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). However, the peptide does not block the binding of α-bungarotoxin, a competitive nAChR antagonist. Thus, ψ-conotoxin Piiie appears to inhibit the receptor at a site other than the acetylcholine-binding site. As ascertained by…

Salk Institute publishes study showing that spike proteins cause vascular disease.
We know now that spike proteins cause blood clots, which in turn damage organs. Fact checkers are correct in saying that the large visible clots are rare. But we are now finding out that the spike proteins are causing microscopic clots in the capillaries, which can cause damage to organs where this occurs. The Canadian…
